SYMPTOMS
You may experience a memory leak in Microsoft COM+ when you try to marshal user-defined types (UDTs) from one thread to another.



CAUSE
COM+ Interception code that is used for In-Process Marshaling caches a structure that contains type info. This cache is deleted periodically to keep the process space from growing too large. Sometimes this structure is not freed, and this behavior causes a memory leak inside COM+.
