+Summary: Incorrect compiler error message
+
+The following program produces an incredibly annoying error report:
+
+public class X {
+
+	public X (int a)
+	{
+	}
+}
+
+class D {
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		X x = new X ("hola");
+	}
+}
+
+It says:
+
+u.cs(11) error CS1501: No overload for method `X' takes `1' arguments
+
+Which is not true, it only happens that there is no overload that takes the
+string argument.  The compiler used to flag this correctly and now it
+produces this error which sends the developer back to his buffer reading
+over and over the code to find out the problem.
+
+I consider this a grave bug.
