+Summary: mcs does not allow unfixed & operator to be applied to local struct members
+
+mcs refuses to compile the following (valid) program:
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+using System;
+
+public unsafe struct AStruct {
+
+	int foo;
+
+	public static void Main (String[] args) {
+		AStruct s;
+		int *ptr = &s.foo;
+	}
+}
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+It prints the following error message:
+bug-mcs-fixed.cs(9) error CS0212: You can only take the address of an
+unfixed expression inside of a fixed statement initializer
+
+According to the C# spec, section 25.3, s.foo is a fixed variable so its
+address can be taken outside a fixed block.
