+Summary: mcs reports use of assigned variable as unassigned
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+When mcs compiles the example program, it reports that j is used before it 
+is assigned.  But j is assigned before it is used.  mcs appears to be 
+confused by the fact that "i=j" appears textually before the assignment to 
+j", yet flow-wise is after the assignment to j.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Save this test to a file ij.cs:
+public class Wrapper {
+    public static void Main() {
+        int j;
+        for( int i=0; i<10; i=j ) 
+            j = i+1;
+    }
+}
+2. Compile ij.cs with "mcs ij.cs"
+
+Actual Results:
+Incorrect error message
+    ij.cs(4) error CS0165: Use of unassigned local variable `j'
+    Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+
+Expected Results:
+    Program should have compiled without complaint.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+    Every time.
