+Summary: gmcs does not allow delegate inheritance in generic classes
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+The Processing function type is public and should be inherited here:
+
+  public abstract class List <T> {
+    public delegate void Processing(T obj);
+
+    public abstract void each(Processing f);
+  }
+
+  public class Nil<T> : List<T> {
+    public static Nil<T> nil = new Nil<T>();
+    private Nil() {}
+
+    public override void each(Processing f) {}
+  }
+
+but gmcs signals a strangely-worded error:
+
+$ gmcs -target:library Test.cs
+Test.cs(12) error CS0505: 'Nil`1.each(List`1.Processing)': cannot override
+because 'List`1.each' is not a method
+Test.cs(5): 'List`1.each(List`1.Processing)' (name of symbol related to
+previous error
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
