The following example produces the error reliably

using System;

namespace Test
{
        public static class Program
        {
                public static void Main(string[] args)
                {
                        Console.WriteLine("hello world");
                }
        }

        public abstract class Class1<T1>
        {
                protected event EventHandler doSomething;
        }
        // the generics clause is required to reproduce
        // the bug.  If it was defined as 
        // Class2 : Class1<string>, the bug is does not appear.
        public class Class2<T> : Class1<T>
        {
                public event EventHandler DoSomething
                {
                        add { this.doSomething += value; }
                        remove { this.doSomething -= value; }
                }
        }
}


/* the following command line: 

gmcs abc.cs 

    results in: 

abc.cs(22,36): error CS0122: `Test.Class1<T1>.doSomething' is inaccessible due
to its protection level
abc.cs(15,46): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)
