 Yes, that's why mcs needs to be fixed before applying this patch (I
 moved the component of the bug to the C# compiler)

 I will take care of the mcs side of things.

+Am re-assigning to Lluis.
+
+I thought that this had broken the encoder-autodetection code in
+StreamReader, but a sample program show that this is working.
+
+The problem seems to be that it broke the computation of the preamble
+size in mcs/support.cs's SeekableStreamReader in the compiler. 
+
+I wonder: what if we do not use corlib's auto-detection of the
+encoder, and instead "peek" at the results ourselves in
+SeekableStreamReader.  We only auto-detect 3 kinds of files anyways
+(The three unicode variants).
