+Summary: CS0182 reported on valid attributes
+
+Getting error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant expression,
+typeof expression or array creation expression
+on near trivial sample of code that goes through csc just fine. 
+
+
+Code sample:
+using System;
+
+
+// The attribute
+internal class MyAttr : Attribute {
+  internal MyAttr() { }
+  internal MyAttr(Type type) { }
+  internal MyAttr(string name) { }
+  internal MyAttr(int i) { }
+}
+
+// The Classes
+[MyAttr()]
+internal class ClassA  { }
+
+[MyAttr(typeof(string))]
+internal class ClassB  { }
+
+[MyAttr("abc")]
+internal class ClassC  { }
+
+[MyAttr(3)]
+internal class ClassD  { }
+
+// Just to compile
+internal class Top  { 
+  public static void Main (string[] strgs){}
+}
+
+
+Result: 
+$ mcs classes.cs
+classes.cs(21) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression
+, typeof expression or array creation expression
+classes.cs(24) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression
+, typeof expression or array creation expression
+classes.cs(27) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression
+, typeof expression or array creation expression
+classes.cs(30) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression
+, typeof expression or array creation expression
+Compilation failed: 4 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+
+
+Expected Results: Should compile
+
+How often does this happen: Always.
