MORE INFORMATION

   Forcing datagram RPC to use the winsock interface causes ncadg_ipx
   to fault occasionally.

   RPC locator fails to start when configured as autostart.

   RpcNsBindingInqEntryName with RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DEFAULT gives error
   1736 when using DCE CDS.

   RpcObjectInqType returns error instead of nil type uuid when passed
   a nil object uuid.

   RPC_C_PROFILE* values are inconsistent with DCE values.

   A cancel on a connection-oriented transport may cause the following
   call to fail.

   Invalid pipe operation on server may result in RPC_S_CALL_FAILED_DNE
   error on the client side.

   RPC does not accept self-relative security descriptors for endpoint.

   NT client does not send orphaned PDU on connection-oriented cancel
   timeout.

   NT server sends fault PDU for incorrect "maybe" connection-oriented
   requests.

   Sending garbage data to port 135 breaks the endpoint mapper.

   Context handle rundown called on DCE server if NT client idles.

   RPC does not handle long host names.
