The exact scenario is this:

1. Silverlight out of browser client with elevated privileges (hence going directly for the resource, bypassing clientaccesspolicy.xml and such).
1. There are no cookies.
1. The remote server is down.

Given these conditions the Silverlight client HTTP stack throws `ArgumentNullException` inside the `HttpWebRequestHelper.ParseHeaders` method - go figure.
