This is a known bug in the language grammar.  Ravi is looking into that
this weekend.

Can you submit this to bugzilla.ximian.com?

Sounds like a bug in the constant folder.

Run mcs in the debugger (on Windows) and find out what line the problem
is happening.  Ideally, try to write a simple C# test case program that
we can use on the regression test suite.
