           Summary: 2.10 regression: failure instantiate generic+nested
                    Type paramter when constructing attribute
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.10.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: generics
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: brian at sooloos.com

AppleWebKit/534.20 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.672.2 Safari/534.20

If a parameter of type 'System.Type' is passed to an attribute constructor and
the type is nested within the generic type, mono prints "Cannot load type"
trace, then passes null into the attribute constructor, even though the type is
valid.

This situation produces no failure on ms.net 2.0/4.0 runtimes, and also works
properly with mono 2.8.x runtime.

I've constructed a small program that reproduces this bug.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
brian at brianmbp ~ $ mono --version

Actual Results:  
test program prints "Cannot load type" trace then throws ArgumentNullException
during attribute construction.

Expected Results:  
test program exits with status=0 without printing anything.
