+Summary: mcs treats protected fields/methods as public
+
+Description of Problem:
+mcs treats protected fields/methods as public.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile this program:
+using System;
+
+class A
+{
+        protected int n;
+        protected void Method ()
+        {
+                Console.WriteLine ("In A.Method")
+        }
+}
+
+class MyClass
+{
+        public static void Main (string [] args)
+        {
+                A b = new A ();
+                b.n = 1;
+                b.Method ();
+        }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+Compilation succedeed
+
+
+Expected Results:
+test.cs(17,3): error CS0122: 'A.n' is inaccessible due to its protection level
+test.cs(18,3): error CS0122: 'A.Method()' is inaccessible due to its
+protection level
+
+Additional information:
+If you make MyClass derive from A, mcs still compiles it and csc reports:
+test.cs(17,3): error CS1540: Cannot access protected member 'A.n' via a
+qualifier of type 'A'; the qualifier
+        must be of type 'MyClass' (or derived from it)
+test.cs(18,3): error CS1540: Cannot access protected member 'A.Method()'
+via a qualifier of type 'A'; the
+        qualifier must be of type 'MyClass' (or derived from it)
