[Mono-dev] "mscorlib.dll is an invalid CIL image"

[Kornél Pál]

mscorlib.dll is tightly integrated with the runtime so mixing the 
runtime and mscorlib.dll is guaranteed not to work. Verify the same 
mscorlib.dll that you want to use using peverify.exe from MS.NET for 
example or on another box with Mono.

Also ensure that the file isn't corrupted by non-binary trasfer. Verify 
its md5sum for example.

If mscorlib.dll is OK the your runtime is corrupt of compliled incorrectly.
