That's strange ... The static member initializations should be compiled
into the .cctor .. And that method executed just like anyother ...

The tests/test_verify tests the verifier ... but does not do execution
testing for the instructions ... (/me has about 150 odd .cs files I
wrote to test the runtime & compiler at various times ...) ..

So ilunit exists , but I don't think it executes instructions ...

Hmm... very curious .... and you're using the same .exe ...

To be implemented .. but StreamWriter already buffers data output ....

I'll try to fix these up soon ... most likely before saturday ..
(see runtime/System/Private/Regex.cs....)
