+Summary: System.IO.Directory.Exists throws exception rather than returning false
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+System.IO.Directory.Exists throws exception where
+MS runtime returns false.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+1. compile monobug.cs (I used vs.net)
+
+using System;
+
+namespace monobug
+{
+	class Class1
+	{
+		static void Main(string[] args)
+		{
+			Console.WriteLine(""+ 
+				System.IO.Directory.Exists
+("http://www.example.com/index.html"));
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+2. run as a standard exe.
+3. run using mono.
+
+Actual Results:
+C:\tmp\monobug\monobug\bin\Debug>monobug.exe
+False
+
+C:\tmp\monobug\monobug\bin\Debug>mono monobug.exe
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: Win32 IO returned 
+ERROR_INVALID_NAME
+. Path: http://www.example.com/index.html
+in <0x00052> System.IO.Directory:Exists (string)
+in <0x00010> monobug.Class1:Main (string[])
+
+C:\tmp\monobug\monobug\bin\Debug>
+
+Expected Results:
+
+C:\tmp\monobug\monobug\bin\Debug>mono monobug.exe
+False
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I got this from the 1.0.6 version.  I apologize if
+it's already fixed in the development version.
+
+This was the only bug I ran into when I tried the
+test cases for the non-gui portion of xsdbXMLcs from
+http://xsdb.sourceforge.net, which was a nice surprise.
+after adding a workaround everything else seems to
+work great.  Congrats!
