 Mono.CSharp.Driver:Main (string[])
 
 The MethodBase.get_IsStatic method in the source code nowhere makes a
 call to GetValue on a Property, so this is very strange to me.

+This looks like a compiler bug. In the mono runtime it may be that we
+don't enforce some constraint and the bug manifests itself with
+strange nehaviour. For example I get two different error messages if
+compiling with mini or mono (ie I don't get the exception reported above):
+$ mcs broken.cs
+broken.cs(5) error CS0176: Static member `Item' cannot be accessed
+with an instance reference, qualify with a type name instead
+$ monomcs broken.cs
+broken.cs(5) error CS0654: Method
+`System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection.Item()' is
+referenced without parentheses
+
+As another data point, when using the MS runtime to compile that code
+it gets an exception:
+Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: At least one element
+in the source array could not be cast down to the destination array type.
+   at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Int32 sourceIndex, Array
+destinationArray, Int32 destinationIndex, Int32 length)

+I put martin on the cc line because he seems to be the author of the
+cast checking code for Array.Copy() and he was also involved in the
+MemberLookup in mcs, so he might have some clues about both bugs.
