SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and in the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1), a .NET Framework remoting server application may appear to leak managed memory. Additionally, the # of Pinned Objects counter for the .NET CLR Memory performance object increases over time.

Note This problem only occurs on .NET Framework remoting servers that use HTTP as the protocol for the HttpChannel class channel.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of timing related issues. These timing issues occur when you use the HttpChannel class in .NET Framework remoting for application communication.
