+According to the ECMA spec, partition II, section 21.34:
+
+11.	With the sole exception of System.Object, for any Class, Extends
+shall index a valid row in the TypeDef or TypeRef table, where valid
+means 1 <= row <= rowcount.  In addition, that row itself shall be a
+Class (not an Interface or ValueType)  In addition, that base Class
+shall not be sealed (its Flags.Sealed shall be 0)  [ERROR]
+
+This means that the runtime is not required to support an extends 
+field with a 0 value. If you compile your testcase with MS ilasm, the 
+generated class will inherit from System.Object. So the problem is
+that our ilasm does not automatically make all such types inherit from
+System.Object.
