+Summary: Socket.Select throws NullReferenceException
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Socket Select will throw a null reference exception if an IList with a 
+count of '0' is passed in for either 'read_list', 'write_list' 
+or 'err_list'.
+
+What happens is this: 
+
+If a list (e.g. read_list) is empty, a null reference is passed into 
+the 'Select_internal' runtime system method for that list. This method 
+will then return a null reference when passing this parameter back out.
+
+There is then no check on the validity of the reference passed out when 
+repopulating the original lists.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Call Socket.Select( ) with 'write_list' set to an IList of length 0;
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not 
+set to an instance of an object
+in <0x00728> System.Net.Sockets.Socket:Select 
+(System.Collections.IList,System.Collections.IList,System.Collections.ILis
+t,int)
+
+Expected Results:
+
+No exception to be thrown
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every Time
