Another linker bug due to forward references, which caused
it to recursively call Main indefinitely.  The previous linker
bug was a forward reference across classes.  This one
was due to a forward reference within the same class.

Fixed now.  You will need to comment out the call to
"req.GetEnvVars" in "Main", or the program will throw
"NullReferenceException" due to uninitialised data.
With that change, the output is:

What error could this be ?
ReadRequest()::foo=baz&
ParseQuery()::foo=baz&
foo => baz

Here is how I detected that it was a linker bug.  This may
be helpful to you in the future:

1. Compile the .cs file to .il using the "-S" option on cscc.
2. Edit the .il file to tag the "Main" method with ".entrypoint".
3. Assemble the .il to .exe using "ilasm -e input.il".

This process bypasses the linker.  If the result of this
process runs fine, but a regular compile doesn't, then
the bug is in the linker.

Cheers,

Rhys.
