Description of Problem:

I'm using gmcs version 1.2.3.1 (mono-gmcs package supplied by Ubuntu 7.04).

Consider the following code:

namespace Test
{
    public class Test <T>
    where T:
        Test <T>
    {
        private int someData;
        public void Copy (T other)
        {
            someData = other.someData;
        }
    }
}

(Now, I'm not saying that this is a good example of a generic copy method,
but still...  ;-)

If you compile this, the gmcs compiler complains about the "other.someData"
reference saying that it is inaccessible due to its protection level.

As a workaround, I found that I need to cast "other" as follows:

namespace Test
{
    public class Test <T>
    where T:
        Test <T>
    {
        private int someData;
        public void Copy (T other)
        {
            Test <T> fudge = other;
            someData = fudge.someData;
        }
    }
}

and this compiles OK.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Copy the first code example above into a file called "test.cs".
2. Compile this file with the command:

    gmcs -target:library -warn:4 -warnaserror test.cs

Actual Results:

Get the following compiler output:

test.cs(10,30): error CS0122: `Test.Test<T>.someData' is inaccessible due
to its protection level
test.cs(7,21): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected Results:

Clean compile with no errors.

How often does this happen? 

Every time.

Additional Information:

Compiles clean with Microsoft C# version 8.00.50727.42

This works fine using gmcs from SVN.
