SYMPTOMS
If you cancel a Point to Point Protocol over Infrared (PPP/IR) connection, and immediately start another connection before the first one closes, the attempt to create the new connection may stop responding (hang) in the "Opening Port" stage.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the IRCOMM component Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) threads deadlock.
