+Summary: Threading Error While Processing Asynchronous WebRequests
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Here is the description of exactly what I am trying to do, complete with
+the exact C# source code I am running (and that is failing):
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconmakingasynchronousrequests.asp
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run the MSDN sample code
+2.
+3.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+The AsycCallback() delegates control to the ReadCallback() method. The
+ReadCallback() method reads 1024 bytes from the stream, processes it, and
+then instantiates the AsyncCallback delegate again. The second call fails,
+the Stream is never processed, and the program hangs, because the allDone
+flag is never set, so the program cannot exit.
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+The second call to the AsyncCallback delegate should continue processing
+more of the Stream, repeating the process until the end of the stream is
+reached.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every time the program is run.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+The code is sample code from the MSDN site as an example of making
+asynchronous web requests. There appears to be a bug in the Mono threading
+model.
