+Summary: Nested classes cause Namespace search problems
+
+Description of Problem:
+The following code compiles with csc fine:
+
+namespace NSpace {
+    public class Child {
+        public int size;
+    }
+}
+
+namespace NSpace.ChildNS {
+    internal class Parent {
+        class Middle {
+            class Child {
+                Child other;
+
+                public void Foo() {
+                    other.other = null;
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    public class Tester {
+        public static void Main(string[] args) {
+            int i = 0;
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+but not on mono - giving a CS0117 'does not contain a definition for
+'other'' error.
+
+Try removing the 'Middle' class, but move the definition of the Child class
+intact so it becomes NSpace.ChildNS.Parent.Child. Compiling this works fine
+with mcs.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
