This article was previously published under Q170281
SYMPTOMS
This article applies to Microsoft Chat Server. Channel Service DLLs unable
to do channel locks, because it cannot have its own thread pool. Instead it
runs using worker threads that belong to the INETINFO.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial
Internet System version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in the
latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Commercial Internet System
version 1.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query
on the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MCIS 1.0 Service Packs 1 and 2 Information
MORE INFORMATION
The problem only occurs when writing channel service extensions that
require the use of worker threads to perform custom processing. Channel
services that perform work on the server threads are not affected. The fix
extends the IMicChannel service interface to permit channel services with
worker threads to function without a deadlock.
