+Summary: MCS fails to identify and report missing mandatory parameters to attributes
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+MCS fails to flag a condition where an attribute has a mandatory parameter 
+and is used without one as an error;
+
+(Mock C#:)
+
+class MyAttribute : Attribute {
+
+  public MyAttribute(string mandatoryParameter) {}
+
+}
+
+class TestIt {
+  
+  [My("Mandatoryparameter")]
+  void ThisShouldCompile() {}
+
+  [My]
+  void ThisShouldNot() {} // It does, however.
+
+}
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Write an attribute with a constructor that expects a mandatory 
+parameter.
+2. Write code that uses the attribute without supplying a parameter.
+3. Compile.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Code compiles when it should not.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Code should not compile with the error message that a mandatory parameter 
+to the attribute is missing.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+It reproduces 100% of the time with 0.25.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+The code has been tested with csc to confirm that mcs behaves incorrectly. 
+Sorry, but I do not have the MS error code readily at hand.
