+Summary: cannot find SecurityPermissionAttribute
+
+It is specific to SecuriryPermissionAttribute problem... mcs cannot find 
+this type.
+
+--------
+using System.Security.Permissions;
+
+class Test
+{
+//      [SecurityPermission (SecurityAction.PermitOnly)]
+        public void Foo ()
+        {
+                SecurityPermissionAttribute a = null;
+//              System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute a = null;
+        }
+}
+
+You will also fail
+1) (commenting method body and) uncommenting attribute expression above
+2) using fully qualified type name
+
+You can successfully compile other attribute instantiation
+(e.g. XmlElementAttribute above)
+
+
+Actual Results:
+attribute.cs(10) error CS0246: Cannot find type 
+`SecurityPermissionAttribute'
+
+Expected Results:
+MS.NET compiles successfully.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always I try to use SecurityPermissionAttribute.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+1) There is "SecurityPermission" class inside System.Securiry.Permissions 
+namespace, which might be ambiguous for attribute use (but I found 
+attribute.cs does not have such problem). 
+
+2) This CS0246 error comes from decl.cs line 332 (DeclSpace.ResolveType 
+()). Expression's ResolveAsTypeTerminal (type_resolve_ec) returns null 
+value. I could not solve further error location.
+
+3) I created another simple testcase, but *mcs compiles fine*.
+
+using System;
+
+namespace MyNamespace {
+
+public class Test
+{
+        TestAttribute Attr;
+}
+
+public class TestAttribute : Attribute
+{
+}
+
+}
+
+4) nant-0.84rc1 build fails because of this problem.

+This seems to be working with cvs...

+Curiously, this still occurs on cygwin.
+
+This can be easily checked by "make test" in class/corlib, using mcs 
+instead of csc. (Be careful to run mcs on *mono* runtime, not on 
+MS.NET runtime.)
