1. [New issue] Misleading error message with clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath on a UNC path
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31749
User jperraud has proposed the issue:

"Trying to do something like:
>>> clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath(r'\\somename\a\b\c\d\e.dll')
the IPY console reports:
IOError: System.IO.IOException: file does not exist: \\somename\a\b\c\d\e.dll
   at IronPython.Runtime.ClrModule.AddReferenceToFileAndPath(CodeContext context, String file) in c:\src\ironlanguages\m
ain\Languages\IronPython\IronPython\Runtime\ClrModule.cs:line 488

The file definitely exists. Running ipy with debug symbols, it appears that a NotSupportedException exception is silently trapped in PythonContext. The message is much more useful and accurate and should be passed to the console:

System.NotSupportedException occurred
  Message=An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information.
