[Mono-devel-list] System.Configuration 2.0 got broken

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello Tim,

I think something in System.Configuration got broken with related to the
latest changes in that namespace. Here is an example repro. Compile it
with gmcs and run:

--------
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Test
{
        public static void Main ()
        {
                new XmlUrlResolver ().GetEntity (new Uri
("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd"), null, typeof (Stream));
        }
}

What I've got was:

$ mono sysconfig.exe

The problem does not happen when I use mcs and therefore 1.1 libraries.
