brian at brianmbp ~ $ gmcs x.cs
x.cs(5,11): error CS0031: Constant value `0' cannot be converted to a `byte'
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings


This code compiles using 2.6.x with no errors. It also compiles with the
microsoft toolchain. Line 5 is "b |= 0;"

I installed mono using the binary x86 osx installer here:
http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/preview/download-preview/. The git hash for
the version I grabbed (as reported on that URL) is 58f029f.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.
Actual Results:  
Compilation fails with CS0031

Expected Results:  
Compilation succeeds.
