[Mono-list] TCPClient not normal bevaiour

[Andy Hume]

You want to specify Encoding.ASCII in the StreamWriter ctor.  Otherwise some arbitrary encoding will be used (Encoding.Default).  And if it's UTF-8 then you'll get the Unicode BOM preamble first.

Note that in the original code the 'other' two StreamWriter instances are created and then immediately discarded -- after first reading a value that was available directly...  Wierd.  Do as Alan suggested but supply Encoding.ASCII as the second argument.
