           Summary: GMCS Cannot parse a LINQ query in a static field

Simple test classes to demonstrate bug

LINQ Queries compile fine in general, however if I initialize a static field
with a query, the compiler chokes with a very unhelpful "error CS8025: Parsing
error"

For example:
class Test
{
  static Expression DirectExpression = from entity in Query.Manager select
entity;
}

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download TestCase.cs attached 
2. Run the compiler against it "gmcs /target:exe /r:System.Data.Linq
TestCase.cs"


Actual Results:
TestCase.cs(50,74): error CS8025: Parsing error
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected Results:
2 warnings, but a successful compilation. 
Execution will throw an exception, but I'm only concerned with compilation in
this test case.

How often does this happen? 
Every time.

Additional Information:
The accompanied class compiles fine in Visual Studio 2008.  I've included a
static function that returns the same query to demonstrate that the same query
syntax compiles fine withing a function scope.
