Contact Query: Exception "Parsing failed"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

We are having an issue when we try get a list of contact from the google api. 
(GData v2.1)
We basically just want to get the first contact in the list.
Here is the code we are using:

Dim contactsUri As New 
Uri("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?xoauth_requestor_id="
 & UserEmail & "&max-results=1")
Dim query As New ContactsQuery()
query.Uri = contactsUri
Dim service As New ContactsService("Test")
service.RequestFactory = requestFactory
Dim feed As ContactsFeed = service.Query(query)

It throws this exception:

Google.GData.Client.ClientFeedException: {"Parsing failed"}
InnerException: {"'atom' is an undeclared prefix. Line 5, position 345."}
StackTrace: 
   at Google.GData.Client.AtomFeedParser.Parse(Stream streamInput, AtomFeed feed)
   at Google.GData.Client.AtomFeed.Parse(Stream stream, AlternativeFormat format)
   at Google.GData.Client.Service.CreateAndParseFeed(Stream inputStream, Uri uriToUse)
   at Google.GData.Client.Service.Query(FeedQuery feedQuery)
   at Google.GData.Contacts.ContactsService.Query(ContactsQuery feedQuery)

It seems like there is a problem with the Xml parser. Is there a solution for 
this issue?

Thanks.
