[Mono-list] Problem with Windows .NET and Mono.Security

[Rob Tanner]

Ralph,

Thanks.  Well, the first issue I can disregard as a non-issue, but the second
is more problematic. 

The Mono.Security.dll assembly comes out of the download of the installer
mono-1.0.6-gtksharp-1.9.2-win32-0.3.exe off the www.mono-project.com.  I
pulled down a second copy just to make sure nothing got messed up the first
time.  They both produce the same MD5 hash so they should be absolutely
identical (which is what I would have expected).  I unstalled Mono and then
re-installed using the second copy.  I still get the same "Strong name
validation failed for assembly 'Mono.Security'" error.  Do you think this is
something I need to report as a bug?

Thanks,
Rob
