[Mono-dev] Bug in compiler?

[Steve Bjorg]

The correct error message should be:
	Keyword 'this' is not available in the current context


Jerry,

You cannot pass the reference to an unconstructed object.  Using  
'this' in this fashion is illegal, because that Path instance has not  
yet been initialized.


Cheers,

- Steve
