+Summary: Failed to compile: A static readonly field can only be assigned in a static constructor
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a HelloWorld.cs with the following code:
+
+using System;
+
+namespace HelloWorld {
+    public class MainClass {
+        private static readonly bool _trueThat = _trueThat = CheckTrueThat();
+
+        public static void Main(string[] args) {
+            Console.WriteLine("HelloWorld");
+        }
+
+        static bool CheckTrueThat() {
+            return true;
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+2. Compile using:
+
+"c:\Program Files\Mono-1.1.8\bin\mcs" /fullpaths /debug "/define:DEBUG"
+"/define:TRACE" /nologo "/target:exe"
+"/out:E:\test\mono\bug-2\Output\HelloWorld.exe" /warnaserror
+"E:\test\mono\bug-2\HelloWorld.cs"
+
+Actual Results:
+
+E:\test\mono\bug-2\HelloWorld.cs(5) error CS0198: A static readonly field
+can only be assigned in a static constructor
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Compiles using csc:
+
+csc /fullpaths /debug "/define:DEBUG" "/define:TRACE" /nologo "/target:exe"
+"/out:E:\test\mono\bug-2\Output\HelloWorld.exe" /warnaserror
+"E:\test\mono\bug-2\HelloWorld.cs"
+
+How often does this happen? Always
+
+Additional Information: Seems to be a regression between 1.1.4 and 1.1.8
+(maybe 1.1.7).
