This is pretty obsecure :)

Description of Problem:

I have a type called Item with a static member I wish to access, but the type
from which I need to access it has two indexers. This causes gmcs to complain,
but the MS C# compiler is fine.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Attempt to compile this code:

using System;

class Item
{
    internal static object Field = "Test";
}

class Caller
{    
    public string this[string x]
    {
        get { return x; }
    }

    public int this[int x]
    {
        get { return x; }
    }

    public void Foo()
    {
        Item.Field.ToString();
    }
}


Actual Results:

Test.cs(22,9): error CS0229: Ambiguity between `Caller.this[string]' and
`Caller.this[int]'
Test.cs(10,19): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected Results:

Successful compilation.

How often does this happen? 

Every time.

Additional Information:

If the indexer isn't overloaded, it works correctly. Fully qualifying Item
(e.g. global::Item) works around the issue.
