SYMPTOMS
After the client side of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) creates large number of threads, makes an RPC, and exits, a memory leak occurs. The server side of the RPC is not affected.



CAUSE
When the client side of RPC thread disappears, the thread pointer in the TLS storage is not released.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
