+Summary: mcs does not report error CS0197
+
+Description of Problem:
+CSC generated CS0197 for following program,
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Try to compile the following program with mcs and csc.
+
+
+//////// start of the test
+
+using System;
+
+public struct Point
+{
+	private int x, y;
+
+	public Point (int x, int y) {
+		this.x = x;
+		this.y = y;
+	}
+
+	public bool IsEmpty {
+		get { return (x==0 && y==0); }
+	}
+}
+
+
+public class A : MarshalByRefObject
+{
+   public Point point = new Point (0,0);
+}
+
+public class Test
+{
+   public static void Main ()
+   {
+      A a = new A ();
+      if (a.point.IsEmpty) {
+           Console.WriteLine ("Point is empty.");
+         }
+   }
+}
+
+//////// end of the test
+
+Actual Results:
+mcs compiles this code silently and csc reports following error,
+
+error CS0197: Cannot pass 'A.point' as ref or out, because 'A.point' is a 
+marshal-by-reference class
+
+Expected Results:
+I think we must report the error like CSC.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+If we don't inherit class A from MarshalByRefObject, CSC compiles the code 
+without any problem.
