SYMPTOMS
Applications that cause the Comsvcs.dll module to load and to unload may cause the following message to appear in the event log:
CAUSE
A thread local storage (TLS) leak in the DllMain function of Comsvcs.dll causes applications that repeatedly load and unload this module to leak TLS slots. This problem does not occur in typical Microsoft COM+ applications where Comsvcs.dll is loaded only one time in the process. But this problem can occur with applications that continuously load and unload the Comsvcs.dll module, such as applications that use the OLEDB provider without using any COM+ components.
