[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 235858] [NEW] Mono 1.2.6 Runtime has a bug in System.Text.Encoding Assembly

[akiladila]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mono-runtime

Release: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Package: mono-runtime installed version: 1.2.6+dfsg-6ununtu3


My Code:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;

public class SamplesEncoding  {

  public static void Main()  {
    Encoding _encoding = null;
    Console.WriteLine("The OEM Code Page Identifier is {0}",
              CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage);
    try{
    _encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage);
    }catch(NotSupportedException e){
      Console.WriteLine("You are toast got exception");
      Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
      Environment.Exit(1);
    }
    Console.WriteLine("Exiting Normally, Goodbye");
  }
}

Code Built via command: 
gmcs /out:encoding_test.exe /t:exe encoding.cs

Command used to execute code:
mono encoding_test.exe

Results:
aha at stanwyk:~/scratch/zip_test$ mono encode_test.exe
The OEM Code Page Identifier is 437
You are toast got exception
System.NotSupportedException: CodePage 437 not supported
  at System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding (Int32 codePage) [0x00000]
  at SamplesEncoding.Main () [0x00000] 

Expected results:
aha at stanwyk:~/scratch/zip_test$ ~/tools/mono-1.2.6/bin/mono encode_test.exe
The OEM Code Page Identifier is 437
Exiting Normally, Goodbye

Methodology used to identify bug:
1. I compiled Mono 1.2.6 from the source at Novell using:
    ./configure --prefix=/home/aha/tools/mono-1.2.6
    make
    make install
2. I then compiled the source listed above using the mono distributed with Hardy Heron
3. I attempted to run the Assembly encoding_test.exe using the mono runtime distributed with Hardy Heron
    and received an exception
4. I ran the same code using the mono runtime that I compiled from scratch and the code ran as expected.
