+Summary: Bug in serializing a MemoryStream (due to a difference between Mono and .Net)
+
+Dear All,
+
+I tried to send a serialized MemoryStream between a Windows platform
+running .Net and a Linux one running Mono (I know, sending the MemoryStream
+is strange, I should rather send the internal buffer...).
+
+And there is the bug: the way .Net and Mono serialize a MemoryStream is
+different, leading to an exception when deserializing the stream on Mono.
+More specifically, .Net uses a field called "_buffer" for its internal byte
+array, whereas Mono uses... something else I guess (sorry, I didn't take
+the time to look at Mono's sources...).
+
+Thus the exception "System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException:
+Field "_buffer" not found in class System.IO.MemoryStream" (see full
+details below).
+
+If I'm right on the fact Mono uses another field name, the solution would
+be simply to rename your field internally to use the same as in .NET
+'_buffer'...
+
+Cheers
+
+Lionel
