+Summary: Interfaces are not recognized as reference types in generic parameters.
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Interfaces are not recognized as reference types when used as arguments of
+generic parameters with "class" constraint.
+
+The type `I' must be a reference type in order to use it as type parameter
+`T' in the generic type or method `A<T>'
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+class A<T> where T: class {}
+interface I{}
+class B : A<I> {}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+TestGenericInterfaceArgument.cs(3,11): error CS0452: The type `I' must be a
+reference type in order to use it as type parameter `T' in the generic type
+or method `A<T>'.
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Should compile. Microsoft does.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+Mono C# compiler version 1.1.13.4
