+Summary: ASCIIEncoder::GetString(byte[],int,int) throws unwanted exception
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+I am reading a stream of bytes as part of a network packet. Microsoft's 
+framework is successful in translating the bytes into a string. The same 
+code under Mono throws an exception. I have compared the SSCLI code for 
+ASCIIEncoding to the Mono code and found a few minor differences in the 
+code. It should be a simple fix, if the problem can be reproduced by a 
+Mono developer.
+
+
+Sample code (without variable contents - sorry):
+
+// In an unsafe context, of course...
+string strDevice = new ASCIIEncoding().GetString(replyData, 
+sizeof(DeviceRequestResp) - MAX_DEVICE_STRING_LEN, MAX_DEVICE_STRING_LEN);
+
+Console.WriteLine("Access to device: {0}", strDevice);
