+Hi,
+In the .NET, UTF-8 decoder returns the '\uFEFF' character.
+In the Mono before my patch, the character was eaten.
+The patch corrects the problem.
+I think, that the Decoder is a low level API and should return all 
+encoded characters. And it is responsibility of the users to decide 
+how to treat each character. So, the problem is not with the patch, 
+but with the mcs itself, which incorrectly uses the decoder. The mcs 
+should handle the logic about the special characters such as '\uFEFF' 
+character.
+Thanks,
+Svetlana
