+------- Additional Comments From rharinath@novell.com  2005-02-23 09:42 -------
+I compiled your testcase with Microsoft's CSC -- both the .NET 1.1 and
+the .NET 2.0beta versions.  They both report an error similar to the
+above.
+
+The type of the integer literal '0' is 'int' (section 9.4.4.2). 
+However, there exists an implicit conversion from a constant
+expression of type 'int' to 'short' (section 13.1.6).  There exists an
+implicit conversion from 'short' to 'int' (section 13.1.2).
+
+Thus, according to section 14.12, this is ambiguous.  The error
+message is somewhat misleading.
