[Mono-list] String.Compare - MS doc discrepancies

Hi,

according to the MS docs, the following code should throw an exception
(the sum of indexA and length is greater than strA.Length):

====
string needle = "ab";
string haystack = "abababab";
int result;

result = String.Compare (needle, 0, haystack, 0, 5);
====

Our implementation "correctly" throws the exception - but the microsoft
runtime does not.

So, what's the correct behavior ?
