Description of Problem:

XML doc generation for a method with a generic output parameter crashes.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a file doctest.cs containing

// start of doctest.cs
class DocTest {
    /// <summary />
    public void Method<T>(out T result) { }
}
// end of doctest.cs

2. gmcs /target:library /doc:doctest.xml doctest.cs

Actual Results:

error CS1569: Error generating XML documentation file `foo.xml' (`Object
reference not set to an instance of an object')

Expected Results:

Successful compilation.

How often does this happen? 

Every time.

Additional Information:

It compiles fine without the /doc switch.

Sorry if this is the wrong component, I wasn't sure where this bug should
be reported.
