[Mono-dev] Problem with List<T>.Sort(IComparer<T>)

[Atsushi Eno]

I've already filed it as
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=76361

Basically you can query bugs before filing new one (and is highly
recommended). For class libraries, try the type name of the target
class (with the target assembly) if you know. In this case, you
will find this bug when you query "List" in CORLIB.

(Feel free to add cc: to yourself on that bug if you'd like to
keep track of the bug.)

Cheers,
Atsushi Eno
