	Does that mean we should report a bug on MSDN ? Or is publishing tests

I think you guys are doing a good job testing mscorlib.dll, but I think
M$ EULA actually restricts benchmarks (maybe even tests). Watch out coz
M$.....EULA violation......Mono on ice......(fill the blanks).

	The safe behaviour is throwing an exception. (please define "correct").
Also if it gives you any satisfaction, pnetlib also throws an exception.
