           Summary: using 'super' instead of 'base' to call base
                    constructor crashes compiler
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Compilers
           Version: SVN

When you use super instead of base the compiler crashes (both mcs and gmcs).
Semi-minimal example:

public class Foo {
    public Foo(int a){}
}

public class ChildFoo:Foo {
    public ChildFoo(int a):super(a){}
}

Minimal example:

class Bar {Bar(int a):super(a){}}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile this program:

class Bar {Bar(int a):super(a){}}
Actual Results:  
System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.

  at Mono.CSharp.CSharpParser.parse () [0x00000] 


Expected Results:  
Give a sensible error
