By calling GC.Collect and GC.WaitForPendingFinalilzers every so often, that was enough to clean up and prevent the crash. I think what was happening was that the system is allocating handles faster than it can free them, never getting around to doing so. Which meant that the file system ran out of file handles, thus the IO Exception. It's cheesy, but it worked for me! I found a workaround for this.

This is a question I should have gotten answered at the PDC. When I get a chance, I'll ping some people on the Microsoft product teams to see if I can get an answer. Cheers, Robert Tom,

Did you find a workaround other than sleeping for a second? I think I’ve run into this, too. Did you find a workaround other than sleeping for a second?
