+Summary: try-catch messes up string length
+
+See the example code below.  After the try-catch block is done, the 
+length of s1 becomes zero (as examined within StartsWith()).
+
+If you remove the try-catch block, then there is no problem.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+using System;
+
+class Class1 {
+	static int Main(string[] args)
+	{
+		string s1 = "original";
+
+		try {
+			bool huh = s1.StartsWith(null);
+		} catch (ArgumentNullException) {
+		}
+
+		if (s1.StartsWith("o")){
+			return 0;
+		} else {
+			return 1;
+		}
+	}
+}
