Bug title: Generics sharing causes application to crash

Mono version: 2.4 (Debian 2.4+dfsg-2~ppa~jaunty)
Operating system: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download http://selene.ntlabs.org/Selene-0.1_RC1.tar.gz
2. Extract the archive and cd into the folder
3. Build it with monodevelop or "mdtool build"

4. Run it with "mono Selene.Testing/bin/Debug/Selene.Testing.exe"
5. Click the button with the "+" on it
6. Crash stacktrace similar to http://pastebin.com/m740a459d

7. Run it with "MONO_GENERIC_SHARING=none
Selene.Testing/bin/Debug/Selene.Testing.exe"
8. Click the button with the "+" on it again
9. Dialog like http://selene.ntlabs.org/images/screenshots/listview_gtk_add.png

I understand the provided code can take some time to grasp, so here's an
outline:
 -We start off with NotebookDialog<Container> with base DisplayBase<Gtk.Widget,
Container> 
 -It inspects the Container class reflection-wise
 -It finds a array of type Enclosed[] and inspects that too
 -It constructs a Gtk listview to display the Enclosed values
 -It creates a NotebookDialog<object> to allow editing/adding values
 -The application crashes on Dialog.Run in ListViewerBase.cs:AddRow()

Might this have something to do with a class of type A<T> indirectly containing 
a type of A<object> ?

Note that:
 -In the stacktrace, the call to NotebookDialog<Container>.Run is displayed
  as a call to NotebookDialog<object>.Run (line 24)

Reproducible: Always
