SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, when you repeatedly call the IMetaDataEmit::GetTokenFromSig function on an assembly from a Microsoft Visual C++ based application, the assembly may return the E_INVALIDARG error. Typically, this problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * The assembly is small.
 * You call the IMetaDataEmit::GetTokenFromSig function on the assembly approximately 7,000 or more times.

Note This problem does not occur with the Mscorlib.dll assembly.
