There's some evidence on the net (Google for it) that IWbemLocator::ConnectServer hangs when used on DLL loading time, though no definite confirmation or available workarounds.
Thanks, I plan to implement mutex using native CreateMutex soon but this problem will appear then if we try to use shared memory in DLL loading (and this includes managed_shared_memory in Windows!). I'm afraid I have no easy fix for this, because I have no other way to obtain a reliable bootup timestamp (which I need to obtain kernel lifetime for shared memory). I think you could (until we fix this) use native windows mutexes (and maybe windows_managed_shared_memory) in intermodule_holder. There is another advantage: the mutex/shared memory will cleanup automatically on process exit or crash. Best, Ion
