We have a few COM objects writen in VB6 that are used by our web sites
with ASP. Recently the DLLHOST (which I believe hosts the DLLs) often
cause the server to go out of memory.

I can view the DLLHOST process and the memory it's using by using
Process Explorer from sysinternals.com. Sometimes it occupies almost
2G of memory. At that time, no asp page will run because of not enough
memory. But our server has 1.5G RAM on it, and I think the DLLHOST is
taking more memory than it should.

Anyone knows what could be the reason?

Thanks,

James
