In the attached test case, serializing a generic class seems to work, but
deserializing it causes this runtime error:

alp@nova:~/Projects/generics-serialization$ mono genser.exe
Saving
Loading

** ERROR **: file object.c: line 514 (compute_class_bitmap): should not be
reached

Aborted


This issue might also be what's causing the crashes with generics and
remoting/db4o.

I have no idea about serialization, could someone else please have a
look at this ?

The same error can be reproduced with two lines:

Type t = Type.GetType (typeof(GenTest<string>).FullName);
Activator.CreateInstance (t);

The problem is that one of the fields of the class has a type 'VAR'.
This suggests to me that the class is not fully instantiated.

Looks like someone already FIXED this :-)
