[Mono-list] Bug in Assembly.Load()?

[J. Perkins]

It appears that Assembly.Load() doesn't work in the latest snapshot. I
will start looking into it this afternoon, but I thought I'd post a
quick note in case someone else has already figured it out. The problem
looks like:

1) Define a plugin interface in a library Support.dll

    using System;
    namespace AppSpace
    {
      public interface IPlugin
      {
        void DoSomething();
      }
    }

    > mcs /t:library Support.cs

2) Create a plugin in a library Plugin.dll

    using System;
    namespace AppSpace
    {
      public class MyPlugin : IPlugin
      {
        public void DoSomething()
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Plugin loaded successfully!");
        }
      }
    }

    > mcs -t:library -r:Support.dll Plugin.cs

3) Load the plugin from App.exe

    using System;
    using System.Reflection;

    namespace AppSpace
    {
      public class App
      {
        static void Main()
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Loading plugin...");
          Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load("Plugin");
          Type type = assembly.GetType("AppSpace.MyPlugin", true, true);
          IPlugin plugin = (IPlugin)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
          plugin.DoSomething();
        }
      }
    }

    > mcs /r:Support.dll App.cs

Build and run this with mcs and the latest code snapshot and get:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File 'Plugin' not
found.
in (unmanaged) 06 System.AppDomain:LoadAssembly
(System.Reflection.AssemblyName,System.Security.Policy.Evidence)
in <0x00004> 06 System.AppDomain:LoadAssembly
(System.Reflection.AssemblyName,System.Security.Policy.Evidence)
in <0x00017> 00 System.AppDomain:Load
(System.Reflection.AssemblyName,System.Security.Policy.Evidence)
in <0x00067> 00 System.AppDomain:Load (string)
in <0x00061> 00 AppSpace.App:Main ()

Has anyone else seen this? I didn't see anything in bugzilla directly
related to this (though there are other open bugs for Assembly). 

Thanks,
