String.Compare seems to fail when it should not

Hi,

See following snippet,

if (0 != string.Compare(str1, str2, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
  throw new Exception("Compare failed str1:({0}) length:{1} str2:({2})
length:{3}", str1, str1.Length, str2, str2.Length);
}

it throws, for instance, with "Compare failed str1:(-mylife) length:7
str2:(-MYLIFE) length:7"

Obviously something is really wrong here...
Has anyone seen this behavior before, or has anyone some tips how to
investigate this problem?
