Here's a few more questions I hope to get answered:

1. It appears as if this message is the result of a COM method call being
called but never returning. Is that correct?

2. Does it occur in only MTA's or STA's or does it not matter?

3. Is it only seen when using certain technologies such as MFC or is it just
a straight COM issue?
