+Summary: Badly typed struct constructor invocations cause call to default ctr instead of compiler error
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+If you invoke a struct constructor with the wrong parameters, the default
+constructor ends up getting called.  This shouldn't even compile.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+public struct Test {
+	public Test(int i) { }
+        public static void Main() {
+                Test t = new Test("foo");
+        }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Program compiles, call to Test("foo") invokes default constructor.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Should fail with 'no constructor matches argument list' error.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+This only affects structs, not classes.  I have a one-line patch which I'm
+testing.
