I have attached a very minimal test case that reliably triggers the
exception error on my system. It's really nothing more than creating a
new bitmap and saving it to disk. It doesn't even require any drawing
operations or something else to see it.

If I try to save as GIF or TIFF instead, I get a FileNotFound exception.
Saving as JPEG or PNG gives me this general exception.

All works fine on Windows with installed .NET 2.0 and others. Compiled
with Visual Studio 2005.

I have two installations of Ubuntu 10.4, both show the same behaviour.

I have installed mono-mcs on one of the systems and compiled this source
file on the Linux box but the problem with the executable remains. (FTR,
the command is 'mcs -r:System.Drawing Program.cs'.)

Filing a bug requires some account Idon't currently have. I also assume
that fixes will at most apply to future versions which I don't have in
my package repository. For now, I'd like to know whether somebody can
reproduce this critical error and whether there are work-arounds.
