Sample project for the issue.

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6

The application was crashed when trying to cast a UIWindow object to an object
inherited from UIWindow class with the exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type
to destination type.

Error connecting stdout and stderr (127.0.0.1:10001)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an iPhone Project with a MainWindow.xib. Change the scope of "window"
property to public. Add a ViewController.xib. 
2.Create a class name SnoopWindow inherited from UIWindow. 
3.Override ViewDidLoad method of ViewController class and adding the code:

AppDelegate applicationDelegate =
(AppDelegate)UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate;

SnoopWindow snoopWindow = (SnoopWindow)applicationDelegate.window; 
Actual Results:  
The casting from UIWindow to SnoopWindow should be allowed

Expected Results:  
Exception was thrown. And the app was crashed.
