+Summary: HttpWebResponse ResponseStream blocks indefinitely when trying to Read from it
+
+Description of Problem:
+*Using Mono v1.0.1 Debian's unstable packages
+This happens most with mis-behaving webhosts which may send incorrect data
+(such as the one I have the unfortunate task of working with) and/or timeout.  
+
+Read()ing from the Response Stream of a HttpWebResponse may block
+indefinitely.  This is using a sane buffer of 256 bytes.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Locate a slow,laggy,unpredictable webhost
+2. Generate a request and try to Read() the response stream via
+HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()
+3. Continue #2 until it blocks indefinitely.
+
+Actual Results:
+Program hangs.
+
+Expected Results:
+Timeout or Exception should be thrown
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Unpredictable.
+
+Additional Information:
+I tried to find a changelog to see if this might have been fixed in 1.0.2,
+but was unable to find one.
