- Just a guess (and I'm REALLY not sure about this), but was the process started
- with the /RESOURCE_WAIT qualifier [or equivalent thereof])? If I understand
- that qualifier properly, a process so started, if it lacks a resource (e.g., an
- IRP) necessary to execute a system service, will wait until the resource
- becomes available (as it would after the preceding QIO completes.
-
- I'm quite likely wrong in my guess (see: sometimes I *AM* humble :-), but it's
- probably something you should investigate unless somebody else can figure out
- what you problem is.
