+Summary: mcs does not find a inner class defined in an external assembly
+
+Description of Problem:
+mcs does not find an inner class defined in an external assembly.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile this and generate a dll:
+--begin---
+namespace X {
+public class A
+{
+	public class B
+	{
+		public int i;
+		public B ()
+		{
+			i = 1;
+		}
+	}
+		
+}
+}
+--end---
+2. Then compile this referencing the previous dll:
+--begin---
+namespace Y {
+using X;
+public class C : A
+{
+	public B method ()
+	{
+		return new B ();
+	}
+
+	public static void Main ()
+	{
+		C c = new C ();
+	}
+	
+}
+} 
+--end---
+
+Actual Results:
+~/work/tests $ mono ../../go-mono/install/bin/mcs.exe -r buxx.dll buxx2.cs
+buxx2.cs(5) error CS0246: Cannot find type `B'
+Error: Compilation failed
+
+Expected Results:
+Compiled exe.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+This is the cause of the remaining 5 compilation errors to compile
+System.Web in linux.
