+Summary: When using an as the ?? operator is not using the correct associativity
+
+Description of Problem:
+While compiling IronPython 2.0 alpha using gmcs, the following code caused
+a compiler error.
+
+using System;
+
+
+public class Program
+{
+    public static int Main(string[] args)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine(DoSomething("moo!"));
+        Console.WriteLine(DoSomething(new Exception("foo")));
+        return 0;
+    }
+
+    public static Exception DoSomething(object value)
+    {
+        return value as Exception ?? new Exception(value.ToString());
+    }
+}
+
+test.cs(14,69): error CS1002: Expecting `;'
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+If I add parenthesis around the as clause "(value as Exception)", the
+compiler does not return an error.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. create program with an as expression inside of an ?? expression
+2. compile with gmcs 
+3. get compiler error
+
+Actual Results:
+Compiler error that the compiler is expecting a ; where the ?? is.
+
+Expected Results:
+Successful compilation (this works on MS compiler)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time
+
