[Mono-dev] SIGSEGV from bad generic type (bug 30085)

I’m researching an issue reported by a colleague of mine. The error is rather serious as the use of a bad type name causes a native SIGSEGV and kills the runtime, when it really should just return a null because it can’t find the type. This code reproduces the issue:
