Description of Problem:

The compiler crashes with a NullReferencedException if an interface type used
within a generic interface appears later in the file. See the following code:

-------------------------
using System;



public interface ITestBase<TInterface>
{}


public interface ITestSub1 : ITestBase<ITestSub2>
{}


public interface ITestSub2 : ITestSub1
{}
-------------------------

Compiler Output:
Unhandled Exception: Mono.CSharp.InternalErrorException:
ITestInterface.cs(11,18): ITestSub2 ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object
reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Mono.CSharp.MemberCache.AddInterface (Mono.CSharp.MemberCache baseCache)

  at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x0002f] in
/mono_svn/mcs/mcs/driver.cs:300 


If you swap the order of the last two interface definitions, the compiler does
not throw the error and produces the output.


How often does this happen? 
Every time
