I'd like to request that the patch in bug #17021

for the 1.1 final release.

Currently, .Net 1.0 clients cannot deserialize objects from axis that
contain zero length arrays due to a bug in Microsoft's deserializer.
Basically, .Net 1.0's deserializer goes belly up if a zero length array
doesn't have an explicit closing tag (i.e., <myArray/> fails, but
<myArray></myArray> works).

Can somebody verify whether or not the fix which can be downloaded at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330065 fixes the problem?
