• If a COM+ application contains a .NET assembly or a .NET ServicedComponent class that is compiled for 32-bit processors, you cannot export this COM+ application. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

• Indigo transaction tests do not work correctly after you apply the hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 921981.
• The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) intermittently crashes on a IA-64-based cluster computer.

• DCOM may cause TCP port exhaustion on the client side. This behavior occurs when DCOM is in nonsecure mode (AuthLevel="none").
• Data is sent according to the length that is returned by the GetBuffer method instead of the buffer length that is returned by the SendReceive method.
• A "notregistered" item is incorrectly stored in the ClassInfo cache.
• Streams in transaction sets do not have their caches emptied after consolidation occurs.
• Memory fragmentation occurs in the Msdtcprx.dll library.
• The MS DTC shuts down because an inconsistent state occurs.
• You cannot view or edit the MachineLaunchRestriction and MachineAccessRestriction settings in the Distributed COM Configuration (Dcomcnfg.exe) tool.
• A race condition occurs between the marshaling and release of ole32!CStdWrapper objects. This race condition causes the ole32!CtxEntry objects to be incorrectly reference counted.
• If you call the DeleteTimerQueueTimer method, the COM+ System Application stops responding (hangs).
