I wasn't able to get an account because of a "504 Gateway Time-Out", but 
I was only going to use it to attach some additional information to bug 
450782: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450782

It should be marked as [Regression] and be a blocker bug since this 
compiles perfectly with Mono 2.0 and .NET 2.0 but fails with Mono 2.2. 
Surely having your own Java implementation fail to compile with Mono 
2.2 FINAL would be unacceptable.

I've contacted Jeroen and he writes (CCing Marek Zafar):
