Jeff what do you think about this patch? I think it has the possibility to have 
side effects that we don't know about due to re-throwing the error instead of 
returning the bool value. James did you run into any side effects? What kind of 
scenario are you using this change in?

I have been using this in production for several months with 250k users without 
problems.  I did have problems when not using this though.  Just wanted to 
share my experience.

What kind of issues specifically where you experiencing (stack trace or app 
crashing etc...), so we can further investigate this. 

How can we reproduce this behavior and verify ( I know messing with entlib 
config..) but I want to know scenarios you ran into specifically (E.G., loaded 
500+ users and the app tanked) :D.

For me the problem occurred even at development time.  Just creating an ASP.NET 
website and using the entities/services in the code behind.  I was not using 
the generated web project.  The problem I had was seen by others in the link 
above and also discussed on the codesmith forum.

I've resubmitted the patch as I the first wasn't complete due to losing the 
original patch file and having to recode it.  I ended up missing a using 
statement.  Re-added it and it compiles fine again.
