+Summary: Scope problem when overriding private method in nested type
+
+This should not compile:
+
+using System;
+
+class A {
+	public virtual int Blah () { return 1; }
+}
+
+class B : A {
+	new int Blah () { return 0; }
+	
+	class C : B {
+		
+		public override int Blah () { return 2; }
+		static void Main () {
+			Console.WriteLine (new C ().Blah ());
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+B.Blah is closer to C.Blah than A.Blah is. We are ignoring it because we
+just ignore the private methods.
+
+On csc you get:
+
+t.cs(14,23): error CS0506: 'B.C.Blah()' : cannot override inherited member
+'B.Blah()' because it is not marked virtual, abstract, or override
+t.cs(10,10): (Location of symbol related to previous error)
+t.cs(14,23): error CS0507: 'B.C.Blah()': cannot change access modifiers
+when overriding 'private' inherited member 'B.Blah()'t.cs(10,10): (Location
+of symbol related to previous error)
