+Summary: compiler mishandles static event references
+
+Description of Problem:
+the compiler mishandles static event references.in the following example it
+mistakenly thinks that BuildStarted is non static.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. compile the following code on both csc and mcs
+class foo {
+
+     public delegate void BuildEventHandler(object sender, object e);
+     public static event BuildEventHandler BuildStarted;
+
+     static void static1()
+     {
+         if (BuildStarted != null) {
+             BuildStarted( null, null );
+         }
+     }
+
+     static void Main(string[] args){
+
+     }
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+staticbug.cs(9) error CS0120: An object reference is required for the 
+non-static field `BuildStarted'
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+clean compile as it referencing a static member.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+all the time
