+Summary: CS0214 is not reported; check for unsafe pointer in method parameters
+
+mcs basically checks pointer use in unsafe context, but it is not done for
+method parameters. See example below:
+
+public class Test
+{
+        public void Foo ()
+        {
+                Foo (null);
+        }
+
+        public static unsafe void Foo (int* buf) { }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+No CS0214 error (error CS5001: Program cs0214.exe does not have an entry
+point defined)
+
+Expected Results:
+cs0214.cs(5,3): error CS0214: Pointers may only be used in an unsafe context
+
+How often does this happen? 
+consistently.
