FIX: You receive an access violation when you try to queue work on a thread that has exited

You receive an access violation from Microsoft COM+ when you try to queue work on a thread that has exited. The single-threaded apartment (STA) thread-pool causes an access violation when you try to add work to a thread that prematurely exited and that has work remaining in the queue.

This bug occurs because the thread receives bogus shutdown messages or WM_QUIT and WM_CLOSE messages.
