+Summary: [GMCS] incorrect CS1502/CS1503 - gmcs fails to resolve the type of a static member in a nested class.
+
+For the following code example, gmcs reports CS1502/CS1503 while it should not.
+
+public class Test
+{
+        public void Foo (G<int> c) {}
+
+        void Bar ()
+        {
+                Foo (G<int>.Instance);
+        }
+
+        // When it goes outside, there is no error.
+        public class G<T>
+        {
+                public static G<T> Instance;
+        }
+}
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. 
+2. 
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+
+g.cs(7,3): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for
+`Test.Foo(Test.G<int>)' has some invalid arguments
+g.cs(7,3): error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `Test.G<T>' to
+`Test.G<int>'
+
+Expected Results:
+
+no CS1502/CS1503 error.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+consistently.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+If the referenced type is not nested, it compiles fine.
+
+If the referenced member is not static, it compiles fine.
