Sorry Mike, but we want to *remove* the current hacks for the 
RPC-runtime emulating named pipe code, not adding more.
The correct approach for the crash in _LocalServerThread is to use 
table-strong marshaling once and then copy the contents of the stream to 
the pipe for each iteration in the loop, instead of marshaling each time.
The correct approach for the crash in _StubReaderThread is to make it 
execute in the correct apartment - either by sending a window message to 
the STA window or by joining the MTA. I believe you had a patch for this 
in July or August when we last worked on this.
