+You're lucky to have a 100% predictable test case but yours is too
+complex to replicate here (and I'm not sure it would fail as it's
+predictability may be related to the extact size, OS...). I'll
+probably need to supply you "special builds" to isolate the problem
+but before that I need more information.
+
+From your report it looks like you are running the client on the MS
+runtime 2.0 (on Windows). This is probably the least tested
+configuration to use Mono.Security.dll so I'll need more information
+to isolate the problem.
+
+? is the Npgsql server running on Windows too ?
+
+? does this works without using SSL ?
+
+? did you check for other Mono.Security.dll outside the GAC ?
+
+? did you look into all GACs, i.e. 1.0/1.1/2.0 ?
+
+Things to try:
+
+- Compile Mono.Security.dll with VS.NET 2005 so you'll get the
+debugging information (including the extact line where the NRE
+occurs). If you have issues doing so then we should fix that first;
+
+- Compile your application (or part of it) and dependencies
+(Mono.Security and Npgsql) with .NET 1.1 and see if the same error
+occurs. 2.0 isn't much tested and it's possible that something changed
+between SSL and NPGSQL (like in the BufferedStream between them);
+
+- Execute your application (or test case) on Mono (at least on Windows
+and if possible on Linux) for both the 2.0 and the 1.1 profile - if it
+works then it would indicate that the code depends on a Mono-specific
+behaviour.
