I cannot imagine this being an unfixed bug. Is there some syntax issue that could cause this as well? I am having the same problem running functions from my ASP.net C# code.

No biggie, just delays you a little bit. That's this kind of compiler bug ... the one that barfs an error message at you where there is no real error. There is another kind of compiler error that's more like a scorpion in the boot ... the kind that produces a program that does the wrong thing, and nobody knows it until you've sold the software to some huge corporation that then loses millions of dollars because of the bug and consequently sues your buttocks off. (Of course you deserve that for not testing your software properly before selling it. Always check your boots for scorpions before setting out.) Go ahead, try to claim I didn’t warn you! :)
