[Mono-dev] XmlTextReader problems in mono 2.10.2

[Atsushi Eno]

I just confirmed that it does not reproduce (I am pretty sure it must
not, as such problematic error would have flooded this list). If you
still think there is bug, come up with the problematic test xml stream
and corresponding code that creates the actual "IFXstream".
