Summary:  FileStream constructor throws incorrect exception

Original Submission:  According to the MSDN docs and testing with Rotor, when 
the FileStream constructor that takes a filename and mode is used, and the file 
is not found, a FileNotFoundException should be thrown. Pnet throws the more 
generic IOException ("operation not permitted"). IOException does not include 
information about the file that caused the error, so catching IOException does 
not permit a very descriptive error message.

The test case I'm attaching aborts with this error on Rotor:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 
"/home/marcus/alpha/test-cases/DoesNotExist".
File name: "/home/marcus/alpha/test-cases/DoesNotExist"
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)
   at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, 
FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean useAsync, String msgPath, Boolean 
bFromProxy)
   at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode)
   at Testing.Main()
