[Mono-list] mcs 0.26 fails on Windows

[Denis Gervalle]

Hi Paul,

A new bug (48376) has been recently introduced regarding this problem in 
the 0.26 release. An old bug (45518) concerning the same kind of problem 
has already came up in the 0.25 release, but not with a simple program. 
Both seems related to the usage of DateTime:get_Now(). If you compile 
with another mcs (or event csc), using the DateTime:get_Now() under the 
0.26 runtime shows the same error. So, this seems runtime related.

By the way, I have also reproduce it under Win2000 Server SP4. It does 
not happen under Windows XP.
My current workaround is actually to use the 0.25 version that has also 
the benefit to be build with GC support.

Regards,

Denis Gervalle
