 I am running Mono on Redhat 9 kernel 2.4.20-8.  Please also note 
 that the raw TCPDUMP viewed in ethereal clearly shows the server 
 sending a TCP RST, which must be a clue.  We might need some hard 
 core TCP hackers to diagnose this one?  My earlier attachment was 
 only showing the HTTP part of the TCPdump (which does not show the 
 problem) - would it help if I uploaded a few raw tcpdumps?

+I have spent the last 24+ hours working on isolating this bug.  This 
+bug occurs in every case I have tried including the following 
+servers:
+* Redhat 7.3 (2.4.20-19.7), 9.0,  and FC1
+* Suse 9.1
+And the following clients:
+* IE6 on Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and Windows Server 2003
+
+I have also tried multiple machines; multiple networks (both home 
+and work); compiling from source and installing the RPMs; and having 
+4-5 people at work reproduce exactly the same defect.  In all cases 
+my test case causes the error 70% + of the time with a TCP reset 
+(RST) command being sent from the web server.  
+
+This needs to be fixed before we ship MONO; or else we should limit 
+XSP to localhost only (because I have only seen the bug in IE) and 
+thus force people to use mod-mono and Apache where this error does 
+not occur.
+
+Gonzalo - can you try a different Linux distro as possibly this 
+defect is not occuring in your distro?
+
+I will also append a raw TCPDump.  Please look at the very bottom to 
+see the server sending the RSP command.
