+Summary: StreamWriter locks the file
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Using StreamWriter to create and write to a file, the file becomes locked.
+ This prevents other applications from opening the file, which is
+inconsistent with the MS implementation.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+StreamWriter sr = new StreamWriter("file");
+while (true);
+
+Try and open the file.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+When opening the file in editplus:
+"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
+process."
+
+Expected Results:
+
+The file should not be locked exclusively; other processes should be
+permitted to open the file, like in the MS implementation.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always.
