[Mono-dev] Possible Bug in Mono?

  (In general, avoid using such ambiguous email subject; it makes

It correctly works for me. Make sure that you don't have your source 
encoding and compiler -codepage argument or default encoding 
mismatching. The default encoding is platform dependent.
You can avoid such a problem by avoiding non-ASCII characters in your 
source code. In this case, use "¥u0083" instead of raw POUND SIGN.
