+Summary: [GMCS] Returning generic delegates can incorrectly cause CS1503 errors
+
+Description of Problem:
+The attached file has two functions that take delegates and wrap them in 
+new, anonymous delegates. The code compiles fine with Microsoft's C# 
+compiler, but fails with the Mono C# compiler
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Download the attached source file
+2. Attempt to compile it with the /target:library option
+
+Actual Results:
+
+With gmcs under Mono 1.2.2.1 - Both functions result in CS1503 errors. 
+Note that, despite their extreme similarity, the text of the error in 
+CS1503 is slightly different.
+
+With gmcs under Microsoft's .NET 2.0: gmcs crashes with an unhandled 
+System.NotSupportedException.
+
+With csc: Compilation completes successfully
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Compilation should complete successfully
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
