I tried this gmcs.exe, (with MD5 checksum
af2065334cf83c8f69771353da353736) and it fixes a bug I reported
recently.  However, on most other generics code, like the attached
Bugx.cs, it fails like this:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference
not set toan instance of an object
in <0x0000c> Mono.CSharp.TypeManager:RemoveGenericArity (System.String

Might this be because my Mono installation is 1.1.12.1 and your
gmcs.exe has version

	 Mono C# compiler version 1.1.11.0?
