Most likely , your firewalls might be blocking CVS access. In that case
you might want to look at port 443 CVS access in subversions ;-)

Or if your institution is HTTP proxied (like mine) , you might want to get 
it off the Savannah backups section for an unofficial CVS snapshot.

I can't test it in .NET , so I can't say for sure . Anyway mono won't 
run it and mint gives exactly the same answer.

What I'm asking is that -- are you getting different results with MS.NET ?
I think the problem could be fixed relatively easily , if I knew what it
actually needs.

My question is reflected by the attached code.

Btw, the compiler should not have to worry too much ... as this is a 
static field. StreamReader.Null and TextReader.Null should give the 
right class to pick ..

They are not shadowed (aka overriden) as both are of different types.
I don't think I could put those in the same slots ?.
