[Mono-list] How many strings do I have?

[Juan Cristóbal Olivares]

This is funny...

When I compile it with Visual Studio and run in on Windows [.NET 1.1], I get
this:

Hello
Xello
Not Found

On GNU/Linux and Mono (mcs) I get this:

Hello
Xello
string is Hello

....

The IL code generated is almost the same...
The first thwo lines could be explained by the inmutability of strings.
Actually, strings are inmutable, except for the "unsafe" code blocks...
that's why the runtimes [mono and .NET] produce those resuts.

The difference between the runtimes seems to be the string comparation
algorithm.
