The 1.1.9 release had a number of bugs in ASP.NET, as there was a major
rewrite in System.Web.

As of now, all the reported bugs but one (unrelated to the rewrite) are
fixed. You can get the latest System.Web.dll from
http://primates.ximian.com/~gonzalo/System.Web.dll.gz

gunzip it and run 'gacutil -i System.Web.dll'
