+Summary: Critical Bug causing large HTTP POSTs to fail in Internet Explorer
+
+Description of Problem:
+There is a critical bug in MONO (tested in beta 2) that has been there 
+since I can remember, but I have only just been able to figure out what 
+is causing it (I had thought the ThreadAbort rewrite would fix it...)
+
+I am using XSP and this is an intermittent problem that becomes more and 
+more apparent the larger the HTTP POST packet sent back to the server 
+gets.  This can happen either for a page with lots of HTML or Server 
+Controls (and it can also happen on a page with a large ViewState).
+
+* This only happens when using Internet Explorer on Windows.  The bug 
+never appears on Mozilla/Windows or on any Linux web browsers.  I always 
+get this intermittent bug on numerous machines at work (I am running 
+Windows Server 2003 and IE 6 on them but it probably happens on Win XP as 
+well, etc.).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. To reproduce this bug use IE 6 on Windows for your browser and run XSP 
+on Linux (I used RH9) for your ASP.NET server.
+2. Run the testcase: testpage.aspx
+3. Click the button a few times on Internet Explorer until you see the 
+error.
+
+Actual Results:
+* Error connecting to server
+
+Expected Results:
+This page should work fine using Internet Explorer.  It works perfectly 
+when the server is MS.NET instead of Linux/MONO; it also works perfectly 
+when using MONO but with browsers other than Internet Explorer.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+It is intermittent; but happens more often the larger the HTTP POST gets.
+
+Additional Information:
+Run the testcase!
