`Xamarin.Android` native runtime calls `mono_reflection_type_from_name`
and passes `NULL` as the `image` parameter. The parameter is then
propagated all the way to `_mono_reflection_get_type_from_info` where,
in case the assembly isn't loaded yet, it is used to obtain base
directory of the assembly. However, since the `image` parameter is
`NULL` in our case, attempt to dereference it causes a segfault:
libc : Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 0x4c0 in tid 11029 (ompanyname.app3), pid 11029 (ompanyname.app3)

Even though this happens in `Xamarin.Android`, the error may occur for
any embedding application which passes `NULL` for the `image` parameter
in situation when the assembly isn't in memory yet.
