Description of Problem:

Testcase:

public class foo
{
  private unexistingclassname field = null;
}


Compiling that generates:

missing.cs(3,11): error CS0246: The type or namespace name
`unexistingclassname' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive
or an assembly reference?

(which is correct output)

and after that prints:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object
  at Mono.CSharp.FieldExpr..ctor (System.Reflection.FieldInfo fi, Location
l) [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharp.FieldExpr..ctor (System.Reflection.FieldInfo fi, Location
l, Boolean in_initializer) [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharp.FieldBase.ResolveInitializer () [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharp.ClassOrStruct.DefineFieldInitializers () [0x00000]

  at Mono.CSharp.Driver.MainDriver (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 



Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Write above code to a file
2. Compile with gmcs or mcs (happens with both)


Actual Results:

Above printout; nullreference exception.

Expected Results:

Only the error message.

How often does this happen? 

Always.

Additional Information:

svn HEAD from 2006-06-18 is the version used.
