+Summary: Compiler crash with static string a; string b = a + "x"
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The following test case will compile fine on csc, but mcs will fail with an
+InvalidCastException.  If you remove either of the constructors, the
+compilation will succeed.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1.  Create X.cs file with the following code:
+
+class X {
+  static string a = "static string";
+  string b = a + "string";
+
+  X () {}
+  X (int x) {}
+ 
+  static void Main () {}
+}
+
+2. Attempt to compile:
+
+mcs X.cs
+
+
+Actual Results:
+Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source
+type to destination type.

+in <0x00b7f> Mono.CSharp.Driver:MainDriver (string[])
+in <0x00012> Mono.CSharp.Driver:Main (string[])
+
+Expected Results:
+Compilation succeeded
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+When mcs fails, it will not output a file name or number, making this issue
+difficult to track in larger projects.
