I just thought it was extremely odd that the new byte[capacity] would
fail when it was requesting less than 4Kb. It didn't seem like it
necessarily had anything to do with the CryptoStream stuff.

Do you know under what circumstances the "new byte[...]" can fail, and
where I could be looking for the problem?
