SYMPTOMS
On a computer that is running the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1, a process that collects performance counters may experience a handle leak. This problem occurs if the .NET Framework performance counters are opened and closed repeatedly. This problem may or may not occur, depending on the application that is using performance counters. Typically, your application will not experience this problem.

To determine whether your application is experiencing this problem, determine if Mscoree.dll and Corperfmonext.dll are loaded and unloaded repeatedly in your application's process. If they are loaded and unloaded repeatedly, your application is experiencing this problem.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because a handle leak exists in Corperfmonext.dll. Corperfmonext.dll handles the .NET Framework performance counters.
