+Summary: gmcs cannot init delegate fields with assignment
+
+The following program, attached (DelegateInit.cs), does not compile using gmcs:
+
+"
+using System;
+
+public class DelegateInit {
+    public delegate void FooDelegate();
+
+    public static readonly FooDelegate _print =
+        delegate() {
+            Console.WriteLine("delegate!");
+        };
+
+    public static void Main(string[] args) {
+        _print();
+    }
+}
+"
+
+Compilation fails with the following error:
+
+"
+DelegateInit.cs(7,9): error CS1706: Anonymous methods are not allowed in
+attribute declaration
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+"
+
+As far as I can tell, compilation should succeed, and the program should
+print "delegate!". The irrelevant error message (the program contains no
+attribute declarations) suggests a compiler bug.
+
+This behavior is observed under mono 1.1.13.1 and 1.1.13.2, both amd64 and
+x86, using Gentoo Linux.
