FIX: The server stops responding after it makes a remote call to a client Marshal-by-reference (MBR) object in .NET Framework 1.1 Remoting

The server stops responding after it makes a remote call to a client Marshal-by-reference (MBR) object in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Remoting.

This problem may occur when the server makes a method call to the client MBR object and then the call becomes stuck in a loop. If the method call that is used by the server contains the ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem method, the server may become unresponsive after several hundred requests have been sent.

You may also notice that this problem may start when the available thread count on the client-side ThreadPool reaches 0.
