[IronPython] IPCE and Mono 1.2 interactive interpreter sadness

[M. David Peterson]

Running IPCE r4 built against Mono 1.2.2 it seems that, in fact, the problem
still exists *UNLESS* you run ipy with -X:TabCompletion, which seems to
cause everything to behave properly.

Building IP 1.1a from source results in the following error,

IronPython/Modules/socket.cs(326,48): error CS0117:
> `System.Net.Sockets.Socket' does not contain a definition for
> `ReceiveBufferSize'
> IronPython/Modules/socket.cs(326,24): error CS0117:
> `System.Net.Sockets.Socket' does not contain a definition for
> `SendBufferSize'


So at the moment I can't verify if the same problem exists when the source
is compiled against Mono, though running against the factory binaries
results in the same behavior as above (both the problem and the fix.)
