SYMPTOMS
Color-management may stop working and may start to leak memory. When this occurs, the program may return error code 2011, which is a misleading error. The error message for error code 2011 is:

The specified color profile is invalid.



CAUSE
The CreateMultiProfileTransform function does not work after being called approximately 1,000 times. When this occurs, GetLastError returns error 2011. Additional calls to the CreateMultiProfileTransform function cause a memory leak in the program.
