+Summary: CS0177 is not always reported when dealing with a try/catch
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When compiling a piece of code which does not always assign an out
+variable, no error is given.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile OutputParam.cs which I will upload in a minute (run "mcs
+OutputParam.cs")
+
+Actual Results:
+
+OutputParam.cs(21,2): warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
+Compilation succeeded - 1 warning(s)
+
+Expected Results:
+
+(The errors are extrapolated from Visual Studio 2005's output, so the
+format might not be correct, line and column numbers are correct though)
+
+OutputParam.cs(18,6): error CS0177: The out parameter 'a' must be assigned
+to before control leaves the current method
+OutputParam.cs(19,26): error CS0177: The out parameter 'a' must be assigned
+to before control leaves the current method
+
+
+OutputParam.cs(21,2): warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
+Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 1 warnings
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Please note that Visual Studio gives two errors about this, one at the
+return statement in the catch clause, and one at the return statement in
+the try clause.
+
+This might have been caused by resolving another bug (not sure though):
