[Mono-list] mcs bug, chokes on multidimensional array

This appears to be a mcs specific "bug".  Mono itself seems to handle
the il from jagged arrays just fine.

The problem itself appears to be something with the way jagged arrays
are used "behind the scenes".  The compilers in both cases will generate
the il for "mb" as a type "int32[,][]".  This would follow that the
error from mcs is somewhat correct: casting a "int32[,][]" to a
"int32[][,]" is not possible.  The csc compiler just appears to ignore
the cast (or realize its unnecessary since its "same type" to "same
type" casting?) and just does a "ldloc.0/stloc.0" while the mcs compiler
tries to generate a cast which fails if done explicitly.

As an aside, I hate the use of jagged arrays. :-)
