Internet Information Services Stops Responding to ASP Requests After the Program Is Restarted (312908)

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 may stop responding to requests for Active Server Pages (ASP) pages after a Web application is restarted.

CAUSE

A deadlock occurs because messages are not being pumped on single-threaded apartment (STA) threads. The STA threads are waiting for a revocation of a Global Interface Table (GIT) object that is registered in the multithreaded apartment (MTA) to finish. The STA thread should use CoWaitForMultipleHandles instead of WaitForSingleObject.
