Summary:  GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject gives incorrect address for arrays

Original Submission:  When a GCHandle with GCHandleType.Pinned is created, it 
should be possible to obtain the address of the object with 
GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject(). When the object in question is an array, Pnet 
appears to return a pointer to some header information that preceeds the actual 
appear data. However, Rotor returns a pointer to the first element of the 
array. Note in the output samples below that element 1 is incorrect and that 
the array indexes are offset.

To compile the test cases, use

1. gcc -shared -o libtest.so test.c 
2. cscc -o test.exe test.cs 
3. ilrun test.exe 

Output from ilrun:

136372232 136372232
size of array[x]: 1
==> array(1) = 48
==> array(1986) = 1
==> array(1987) = 2

Output from Rotor:

1093363496 1093363496 
size of array[x]: 1 
==> array(1982) = 1 
==> array(1983) = 2
