+
+Try compiling this:
+--------------
+using System;
+
+class Test {
+        static void Main ()
+        {
+                string uri = "http://localhost/";
+                int default_port = (uri.StartsWith ("http://") ? 80 : -1;
+                if (default_port == -1)
+                        default_port = (uri.StartsWith ("https://") ? 443 : -1;
+        }
+}
+------------
+
+It fails, of course, bug MS says that it is waiting for a ')', while the
+error by mcs/gmcs is:
+syntax error, got token `SEMICOLON'
+bug.cs(7,59): error CS1002: Expecting `;'
+syntax error, got token `SEMICOLON'
