(disclaimer: this is my first day using mono. I might be doing something wrong,
but it sure looks like a bug to me)

I'm trying to run fsi.exe (the f# interpreter), which is in a folder on my
$MONO_PATH:

$ echo $MONO_PATH 
/home/tim/dev/lib/mono/fsharp/bin

$ mono fsi.exe
The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/usr/lib/mono/1.0/mscorlib.dll'
directory.


When I look in /usr/lib/mono, the 1.0 directory doesn't exist. But the 2.0
version does exist (and has mscorlib.dll in it):

$ ls /usr/lib/mono/
2.0  3.5  compat-2.0  gac
$ ls /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll 
/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll

and mono's version is:
$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 2.6.7 (Debian 2.6.7-3ubuntu1)

    SIGSEGV:       altstack
    Notifications: epoll
    Architecture:  amd64
    Disabled:      none


If I unset MONO_PATH, it still fails with the same message. If I try to run an
arbitrary foo.exe, it fails with the same error message. If I run fsi.exe by
its full path, it succeeds.

Reproducible: Always
