Native compiled app fails on System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo

[jgowdy]

I'm not sure if native compile is supposed to work yet or not, but I figured I'd try it and open an issue since I ran into something. This is a simple compute N digits of pi app.

Not sure if this is related, but one of the times I mistyped a dotnet command I got this exception:
