A Settings class with the following property fails to initialize:

        public int[] RemotingPorts {
            get {
                return ((int[])(this["RemotingPorts"]));
            }
        }

When the program tries to access this property a exception is thrown:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Kern.Properties.Settings ---> System.NotSupportedException: ArrayConverter cannot convert from System.String.

This happens with mono 1.9.1 under Ubuntu and Mac OS X.
