+Summary: MCS doesn't report CS0133 for "const char[] x = new char[] {...}"
+
+Description of Problem:
+MCS doesn't report CS0133 for "const char[] x = new char[] {...}".
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile with MCS
+
+using System;
+
+public class Program {
+	private const char[] invalidChars = new char[] { 'a', 'b' };
+
+	static void Main (string[] args)
+	{
+		Console.WriteLine ("Position {0}", args [0].IndexOfAny (invalidChars));
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+# mcs constarray.cs
+UNHANDLED IN bed42bb0
+ 
+Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Does not support yet Turning array
+into a Constant
