everything is ambiguous!... total badness! help!

[Bob]

My controls assembly was behaving perfectly well (no compile errors in the
Task List) until I added a new user control. Then suddenly I got 105 compile
errors headed up by numerous errors asserting that '(control name)' is
ambiguous in the namespace '(control namespace)'. Absolutely nothing I've
tried has fixed this, including getting rid of the first change, restarting
the IDE, excluding huge sections of code and controls, and changing the root
namespace and imports. What do I do? What the heck is wrong with the
compiler?

One of the main reasons I post here is to take advantage of Murphy's law. As
soon as I post, often I find the answer to my question. No exception, here.
I found that for some strange reason the controls assembly had itself as a
reference... *shakes head*

Just that not everybody thinks it is an open problem.
