	I am pretty sure it fails as expected under Windows - could you check
if you have access to Windows with .NET SDK ?

	The stacktrace is not bogus - notice that it goes as far as
Mono.CSharp.Report.Error which is the error reporting routine inside mcs
which makes a call to System.String.Format and the crash is related to
that.
