Bug #17736 Selecting a row with with empty date '0000-00-00' results in Read() hanging.

Description:
C# Web Service so using .Net 2.0.

How to repeat:
Create a row in the database with a blank date '0000-00-00'.

try
{
MySqlConnection oDbConn = new MySqlConnection();
oDbConn.ConnectionString = "Server=<server>;Uid=<uid>;Pwd=<pwd>;Database=<db>;";
oDbConn.Open();
MySqlCommand oDbCmd = new MySqlCommand( "SELECT `date` FROM `table` WHERE `id` = ?id", oDbConn );
oDbCmd.Prepare();
oDbCmd.Parameters.Add( "id", 1 );
MySqlDataReader oDbRes = oDbCmd.ExecuteReader();
oDbRes.Read();
oDbRes.Close();
oDbCmd.Dispose();
oDbConn.Close();
oDbConn.Dispose();
return true;
}
catch( Exception e )
{
return false;
}

Suggested fix:
Anything other than a hang, throw an Exception or create an uninitialised DateTime object.

verified that a hang occurs with date field of '0000-00-00'. Testcase attached (internal only).
