+Summary: [GMCS]Cannot call new on a generic struct type without new constraint
+
+Description of Problem:
+Note: This is marked as resolved in bug #68326, the problem still exists in
+mono 1.1.5
+
+You cannot call new on a generic stuct type (that is a generic type with a
+struct constaint) without specifing a new constraint. See code below. Since
+a struct always has a default constructor, the new constraint is not
+needed. MS .NET 2.0 (Feb CTP) does not require the new constraint and will
+not compile with it (Error: The 'new()' constraint cannot be used with the
+'struct' constraint).
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Try to compile this code
+
+class Test<T> where T: struct{
+   public Test(){
+      T s = new T();
+   }
+}   
+Actual Results:
+using mono 1.1.5
+test.cs(3) error CS0304: Cannot create an instance of the variable type 'T'
+because it doesn't have the new() constraint 
+
+Expected Results:
+should compile fine
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
