+Summary: volatile enums are seen as 'int' by the compiler
+
+Description of Problem:
+When compiling a class with volatile enum member, compiler throws an error 
+CS0029, stating it could not implicitly convert from enum to int.
+
+Following source demonstrates the problem when compiling with MCS 0.19:
+----------------------------
+using System;
+
+namespace Test
+{
+
+	public enum TestEnum
+	{
+		FirstValue,
+		SecondValue,
+	}
+
+	public class Test
+	{
+		public static volatile TestEnum testEnum;
+
+		[STAThread]
+		static void Main(string[] args)
+		{
+			testEnum = TestEnum.FirstValue;
+		}
+	}
+}
+----------------------------
+
+Actual Results:
+Test.cs(19) error CS0029: Cannot convert implicitly from `Test.TestEnum' 
+to `int'
+
+Expected Results:
+Successful compilation.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time I compile any source with volatile enum.
+
+Additional Information:
+After deleting the "volatile" keyword from the source, mcs works 
+perfectly. But then the field is not volatile, which is not what I need...
