Expected result (from new test case): 

40153.000000

Actual result:
** ERROR **: Type System.DateTime which is passed to unmanaged code must have a
StructLayout attribute
aborting...

Or message box saying same thing on mono/Windows.


NET 

Seems to automatically marshal this value type to a native DATE.

Quote from DateTime page on MSDN:
"When only a time is passed from the .NET Framework to COM, special processing
is performed that converts the time to the format used by COM."


Switching DateTime from [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Auto)] to
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]

causes the result to on mono to be 0.0.

I think mono needs to handle this as a special case.
