Stack Overflow in Windows using ping-back

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Establish a connection with ping-backs
2. Make a remote call to a long-running method
3. Wait

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of running to completion, runaway recursion causes a stack overflow to 
occur long into waiting.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

RCF 1.3 (I believe 1.2 had some ping-back issues so I'm not using 1.3)
This only occurred for me on Windows (Vista, MSVC 2008); maybe Linux (Ubuntu 
9.04) just allocated a larger stack though.

Please provide any additional information below.

See the attached source which I ran to produce the issue.  It's based off the 
ping-back demo snippets given in the user guide with some slight embellishments 
which reflect my actual application more closely (but shouldn't affect the 
issue).

Thanks for reporting this - it's now fixed. The attached patch can be applied 
to RCF 1.3, and will prevent the stack recursion.
