[Mono-list] XmlWriter with XmlWriterSettings break Dictionary de-serialization

[Uli Hertlein]

Hi guys,

I am serializing a Dictionary<Guid,SomeClass> to an XML file using DataContractSerializer and 
XmlWriter.

When using 'XmlWriterSettings() { Indent=true }' (and the Dictionary contains more than one entry) 
the de-serialization (using DataContractSerializer and Stream) breaks with the following exception:

$ mono ./DictSerializer.exe
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Deserializing type 
'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.Guid, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[DictSerializer.Bit, DictSerializer, Version=1.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]'. Expecting state 'EndElement'. Encountered state 'Element' 
with name 'd2p1:KeyValueOfguidBit' with namespace 
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays'. (10,6)
   at System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationMap.DeserializeObject (System.Xml.XmlReader reader, 
System.Runtime.Serialization.XmlFormatterDeserializer deserializer) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
   at System.Runtime.Serialization.XmlFormatterDeserializer.DeserializeByMap 
(System.Xml.XmlQualifiedName name, System.Type type, System.Xml.XmlReader reader) [0x00000] in 
<filename unknown>:0
...

This is with mono-2.10.1, MS .NET 4 is fine.
Attached a minimal application that demonstrates this behaviour.
What's the established procedure to file a bug?

Cheers,
/uli
