LPC Message Is Deleted When the Port Is Closed (286021)

SYMPTOMS

The processing of an LPC message may result in a "STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER" (0xC000000D) response. When one thread in a process calls ntoskrnl!LpcpDeletePort, LPC messages in other threads of the same process may be deleted.

In COM+, this issue can occur if a publisher of a Loosely Coupled event enters a tight loop of creating, firing events, and releasing the event class object. When you fire the event (call the event class object method), an "E_OUTOFMEMORY" (0x80000002) response is returned, and one of the following error messages is written to the Event log:

The COM+ Event System ran out of memory during its internal processing, at line 60 of .\eventsystemobj.cpp.
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 80004002 from line 42 of .\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.
