+Summary: mcs does not catch assigment to readonly variable
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem: mcs does not catch that you are making an
+assignment to a readonly variable, yet that variable's value has not changed
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. compile and run:
+
+using System;
+
+class T
+{
+	static readonly string test;
+	
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		new T ();
+	}
+	
+	T ()
+	{
+		test = "blah";
+		Console.WriteLine (test);	
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+blank line is printed
+
+Expected Results:
+error CS0198: A static readonly field cannot be assigned to (except in a
+static constructor or a variable initializer)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+it is caught if the assignment is not in a constructor
