           Summary: NullReferenceException using Reflection with valid
                    Nullable/ByRef arguments
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.2.x
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: CORLIB

The Eagle unit test object-7.1 causes Mono 2.0 to crash.  For Mono 2.2, it
fails the unit test with a NullReferenceException.  The test itself is designed
to exercise Reflection with Nullable and/or ByRef arguments.  This test works
properly on .NET.

---- object-7.1 start

==== object-7.1 objects with array and nullable arguments FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

  list [set x [object create Eagle._Tests.Default]] [llength [info objects]] 
[set y 0] [object invoke $x TestByRefValueTypeMethod y] $y  [object invoke $x
TestNullableValueTypeMethod $null]  [object invoke $x
TestByRefNullableValueTypeMethod y] $y  [object invoke $x
TestIntArrayReturnValue]  [object invoke $x TestStringArrayReturnValue] 
[object invoke $x TestStringListReturnValue]  [object invoke $x
TestStringListArrayReturnValue]  [set z(0) foo] [object invoke $x
TestByRefStringListArray z]  [array get z] [unset z] [unset y] [object dispose
$x] [unset x]  [llength [info objects]]

---- errorCode: NONE
==== object-7.1 FAILED


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the "Mono-on-Unix" binaries distribution from: http://eagle.to/
2. Start the EagleShell.exe under the Mono of your choice (crash in 2.0 and
fail in 2.2)
3. Type "set argv [list -constraints monoCrash]" and hit enter.
4. Type "#test object7*" and hit enter to see the failure (complete with stack
trace).

Actual Results:  
On Mono 2.0, the runtime crashes.  On Mono 2.2 the unit test fails with a
NullReferenceException.

Expected Results:  
The unit test should pass.
