+Summary: NullRef on a ABI change rather than assert
+
+Compile this test case:
+
+#if A
+public class X {
+	#if B
+		public static readonly string blah = "FOO";
+	#else
+		public const string blah = "FOO";
+	#endif
+}
+#else
+class Y {
+	static void Main () {
+		System.Console.WriteLine (X.blah);
+	}
+}
+#endif
+
+like:
+
+[benm@omega benm]$ mcs foo.cs /out:blah.dll /t:library /d:A,B
+[benm@omega benm]$ mcs foo.cs /r:blah.dll
+[benm@omega benm]$ mono foo.exe
+FOO
+[benm@omega benm]$ mcs foo.cs /out:blah.dll /t:library /d:A
+[benm@omega benm]$ mono foo.exe
+ 
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
+set to an instance of an object
+in <0x00008> Y:Main ()
+
+On MSFT you get a missingfieldexception. At the very least, we should
+assert, rather than a strange NRE.
