+Summary: mcs silently crashes when using an invalid class combination during instantiation
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+mcs 0.23 crashes without further problem report or failure message, when
+using a not sensible combination of classes during an instantiation
+statement. Since mcs does not report anything, just terminates without
+saying "compilation succeeded", it is extremely difficult to find such a
+bug in a large program (I had to remove step-by-step every single class or
+its content until reaching the culprit itself, which made a lot of failed
+recompiles..)
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile:
+
+public class Store {
+	private double[] priceInfo = new int[4];
+}
+
+public class Controller {
+	public static void Main() {}
+}
+
+The culprit is the int[4]; instead it should be double[4].
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+mcs plainly terminates without further notice, i.e. it does not report any
+line number or similar, nor throws a segfault or some other system failure.
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+compilation succeeded
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+everytime
