+Summary: user-defined implicit conversions with params fails
+
+For the following code, mcs (0.23.0.0, debianplanet package on woody) 
+gives the error
+  "Problem.cs(17) error CS-0006: Could not find any applicable function for    
+  this argument list"
+
+Microsoft's compiler successfully compiles the code.
+
+I have a method with a "params" parameter (variable arguments collected
+into an array), and am then calling it in a way which requires my
+user-defined "implicit" conversion to be done.
+
+class Problem {
+        string somedata;
+
+        public Problem(string somedata) {
+                this.somedata = somedata;
+        }
+        public static implicit operator Problem(int x) {
+                return new Problem("" + x);
+        }
+
+        public static int Multi(int first, params Problem[] rest) {
+                return rest.Length;
+        }
+
+        public static void Main(string[] args) {
+                Problem[] ps = new Problem[] { 1, 2, 3 }; // ok
+                Multi(1, 2, 3, 4); // fails to compile
+        }
+}
