 I've been testing 1.1.7, this is definately still an issue for the
 Poll method.

 Err I forgot to say that repeatedly invoking the Poll() method when
 large numbers of sockets are open will cause Mono to crash.

+More info - the magic number appears to be 1216 - open 1216 sockets
+and then poll them each for read and write (just like the DoPollTest()
+method above) - once it hits socket 1216 it throws a null reference
+exception in Socket:Poll_internal which cannot be caught, this kills
+the mono process.
+
+We've seen this same exception in other tests, even when our code
+isn't using Poll, presumably something internal to the mono class
+libraries is calling this and ultimately killing the process.
+
+I can't figure out the significance of 1216, although it is 1024 + 192?
