foreach (var line in lines)
{
    Console.WriteLine(line); 
}
foreach (var line

It isn't a bug. But I believe you can use ReadAllLines() to do what you want instead. ReadAllLines creates a string array and pulls in all the lines into the array, instead of just a simple enumerator over a stream like ReadLines does.
