[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 897782] [NEW] System.Globalization.RegionInfo missing ThreeLetterISORegionName, ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName, and CurrencySymbol

[Hunter Morris]

Public bug reported:

Compiling and running the code attached (e.g. "mcs
CurrencySymbolFail.cs") produces:

   Name:                         GB
   DisplayName:                  United Kingdom
   EnglishName:                  United Kingdom
   IsMetric:                     True
   ThreeLetterISORegionName:     
   ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: 
   TwoLetterISORegionName:       GB
   CurrencySymbol:               
   ISOCurrencySymbol:            GBP

Note that some fields are empty, including CurrencySymbol which I
expected to be "£". There is a (very old) discussion on the Novell bug
tracker which describes a similar issue:
