Description:
Calling ExecuteScalar with 2+ commands, one of them failing, hangs the process.

something like:

SELECT 1; 
SELECT * FROM DoesNotExist;

was originally found in an sproc, but works with text commands.

It specifically hangs on MySqlStream.LoadPacket(), at int b1 = inStream.ReadByte();

dr.Close() is called, which throws an exception (because of the error in the 2nd result), which calls dr.Close() again, which hangs because there are (for some unknown reason to me) still results.

How to repeat:
The following code reproduces the bug every time:

using (MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(_connectionString))
{
   using (MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand())
   {
      command.Connection = connection;
      command.CommandText = "	SELECT 1;SELECT * FROM DoesNotExist";
      command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
      connection.Open();               
      command.ExecuteScalar();
   }
}
Console.WriteLine("This never executes");
Console.ReadLine();

replace _connectionString with a real connection string - no other steps are required.

Suggested fix:
none.
