+Summary: mcs doesn't catch properties returning pointers in safe context
+
+The following code:
+
+== frob.cs ==
+using System;
+public class Driver {
+  public static unsafe byte* Frob {
+    get { return (byte *) 0; }
+  }
+  
+  public static void Main () {
+    IntPtr q = (IntPtr) Frob;
+  }
+}
+
+Results in:
+
+mcs /unsafe frob.cs
+frob.cs(11) error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'byte*' to 'void*'
+frob.cs(11) error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'byte*' to 'System.IntPtr'
+
+instead of "pointers may not be used without unsafe context" (as csc
+resports).  It works fine if Frob is a method call.
