+Summary: pointer to struct compiles, but shouldn't
+
+The following sample compiles with mcs, but csc gives an error instead:
+struct pwd {
+	string name;
+};
+
+class T {
+	static void Main () {
+		unsafe {
+			pwd *p;
+		 }
+	}
+}
+
+The csc error is:
+struct-addr.cs(8,8): error CS0208: Cannot take the address or size of a
+variable of a managed type ('pwd')
+
+Note with both compilers using /unsafe is needed.
