 After the first read it gives up. If I changed my stream impl to block
 after the first read, the problem the reporter experienced would happen

+Ben, while this is indeed a different behaviour, I think it doesn't
+matter that much (at least for this bug). The problem Alexander
+described (and which I stumbled upon right now as well in v1.1.8.3) is
+that StreamReader does not return at all if not all of the bytes are
+available and the end of stream is not recognized(?)
+
+My problem: I have an XmlTextReader using a TextReader (StreamReader)
+from a network connection. XmlTextReader eventually tries to read 1024
+bytes, but the whole request is only 112 bytes long. This causes
+XmlTextReader.Read() to block until there is a timeout and the
+connection is torn down. 
+
+(you can test this with http://xmlrpccs.sourceforge.net/ when running
+the SampleServer and SampleClient)
