+Summary: Problems getting Socket options
+
+Description of Problem:
+The Socket.GetSocketOption() method throws a
+System.NullReferenceException when there are
+attempts to get socket options like Broadcast
+or ReceiveBuffer.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Write a small program like this:
+
+   using System;
+   using System.Net;
+   using System.Net.Sockets;
+
+   public class MyApp
+   {
+     public static void Main()
+     {
+       Socket socket = new Socket(
+         AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
+         SocketType.Raw,
+         ProtocolType.Udp);
+
+       IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, 9000);
+       socket.Bind(localEndPoint);
+
+       int broadcast = (int) socket.GetSocketOption(
+         SocketOptionLevel.Socket,
+         SocketOptionName.Broadcast);
+
+       int bufferSize = (int) socket.GetSocketOption(
+         SocketOptionLevel.Socket,
+         SocketOptionName.ReceiveBuffer);
+     }
+   }
+
+2. Compile and run it as superuser
+
+
+Actual Results:
+The Socket.GetSocketOption() method always throws the
+following exception:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found
+where an object instance was required.
+in (unmanaged) /usrlocal/lib/libmono.so.0 [0xe49431]
+in (unmanaged) /usr/local/lib/libmono.so.0 [0xe49506]
+in <0x0002b> System.Net.Sockets.Socket:GetSocketOption  
+(System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionLevel,System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionName)
+in <0x0011b> Sender:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+The Socket.GetSocketOption() method should return the requested
+socket option.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+This works with .NET on Windows.
