OK, I'm found the edge case that causes this problem. The patch I will be posting should cleanup in the case of a communications failure. The interaction with Stop() is still somewhat in the air but, in general, you need not call it after a communications error occurs, assuming you wish to continue using the service at the end-point. In other words, calling ProcessRequest() after a failure will simply queue the requests until the server comes back up. All requests prior to the failure will be cleaned up and the original resource will be made non-reusable. In theory, you need not special case this particular error. That said, we shall know when this occurs in practice (my test show it works as expected). -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
