+Summary: Microsoft example gives ambiguous user-defined conversion
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Sample code from Microsoft results in an error.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+Look at the "user defined conversions tutorial" and try to compile the code:
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/csref/html/vcwlkuser-definedconversionstutorial.asp
+
+Here is a short analog.
+
+using System;
+struct X {
+    static public implicit operator string(X x) {
+       return "x"; } }
+class Test { 
+    static public void Main() {
+        Console.WriteLine(new X()); } }
+
+Actual Results:
+
+$ mcs bug.cs
+Internal(1) error CS-0011: Ambiguous user defined conversion
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+should compile without errors and output "x\n"
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+always
