[Mono-list] MemoryStream problem

[carsten@hess.net]

The memory stream makes a copy of the byte array it
works on. I already submitted a bug for this and
suggested a fix.

It seems to me that your little test program fails for
the same reason as my test failed.

The bug number is: 38481

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?
