Thats bug #38017. It will be fixed when the new JIT is
released. It is
triggered by this line in JavaTypeImpl.Finish():

ilGenerator.EmitCalli(OpCodes.Calli,
System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.StdCall,
(retType.IsValueType || retType =3D=3D typeof(void)) ? retType :
typeof(IntPtr), modargs);

It can be worked around if you put the (retType...
expression into
a temporary variable first. But mono 0.20 will not work
after this=20
because of some reflection bugs triggered by the latest
changes in
IKVM. But I'm working on fixing them !

                              bye
