SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You quickly make multiple remote procedure calls (RPCs) to a server that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. The multiple RPCs are on the same endpoint. In this scenario, a 0x6be exception may occur.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because an RPC can reuse a TCP connection that the server has already asked to close. When the RPC does this, the server responds by using an ACK/RST packet. Additionally, the server causes the 0x6be exception to occur on the client computer.
