Thanks for digging thatup!

Indeed it does use shutdown(). If I read the npgsql code that'll even be
done in the exception handling path. So fixing the 0 byte case might
already do the trick.

Could any of the windows user try to check whether fixing
if (r != SOCKET_ERROR && b > 0)
/* Read succeeded right away */
return b;
to
if (r != SOCKET_ERROR && b >= 0)
/* Read succeeded right away */
return b;
already does the trick?
