           Summary: PtrToStructure not working correctly (Specifically
                    with FreeType)
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.10.x
          Platform: 64bit
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW

Attempting to use Axiom3D 0.8.0.0 engine on Mono. After getting it to build I
ran into problems with some FreeType interop code; the same code works on the
Microsoft CLR.

The exception is a ObjectReferenceException (due to an access violation).
However, the pointer is retrieved from a previous call to PtrToStructure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract the files (cuckoo is used as a testing font).
2. gmcs Main.cs
3. mono Main.exe
Actual Results:  
ObjectReferenceException due to an invalid pointer (which happens to be well
within the range of the kernel protected address space).

Expected Results:  
Successfully marshal the pointer to a FT_GlyphSlotRec.

Ubuntu 10.10 with Mono 2.10.1 x64 (Parallel environment).

I tried to pin down the problem for you; but I am not getting anywhere as I am
completely unfamiliar with how Mono interop works under the covers.

I have triple-verified the code and it looks correct based on the FT tutorials
(C++ ones).

I have spent about 5 days (in total) trying to get you guys more information
but I really am coming up with nothing. There has been no repro attempt using
Mono on Windows.
