SYMPTOMS
In the RPC pipe model, when a problem occurs in a client program, the server thread that is performing the push and pull operations may not recognize that a problem has occurred. If client program quits because of an error, the server thread may wait forever. Each time you run the client program, the thread count on the server is increased by one.
CAUSE
This problem may occur because a server pipe thread is not waking up after the client has stopped working and quit.
