+Summary: Compilation fails on unsafe delegate initializer.
+
+Description of Problem:
+The following code compiles on csc (.Net 2.0) but fails on gmcs 1.2.4, 
+with error CS0214: "Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an 
+unsafe context"
+
+namespace Bug
+{
+    static class BugClass
+    {
+        unsafe delegate void Foo(void* dummy);
+        static unsafe void FooImplementation(void* dummy) { }        
+        static unsafe Foo Bar = new Foo(FooImplementation);   // Fails
+    }
+}
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a new bug.cs code file containing the code above
+2. Compile with 'gmcs /unsafe /target:library bug.cs'
+
+Actual Results:
+"error CS0214: Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an 
+unsafe context"
+
+Expected Results:
+"Compilation succeeded"
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always reproducible.
+
+
+Additional Information:
+Compilation suceeds when you add the 'unsafe' keyword to the containing 
+class, i.e:
+unsafe static class Bug
