[Mono-dev] Mono 2.8 regression

[Tom Spink]

It should run fine, as it's /probably/ doing what the cast to object
is doing... But, of course, it violates type-safety so the compiler
moans at you.

Like I suggested, if you cast to object, then cast to the delegate,
this'll get round the compilation error.
