RpcServerListen and RpcMgmtWaitServerListen

[Phil Lodwick]

Hi,

I have a program that basically does:

RpcServerUseProtseqEp
    RpcServerRegisterIf
    RpcServerListen(DontWait=FALSE)

On Windows this will block until another thread calls
RpcMgmtStopServerListening.

This does not appear to be the case with Wine's implementation.  Before I
start to dig in and investigate, I was wondering if this is already a
well-known problem.

Thanks,
Phil

This was a known problem to me, but not one I was intending to fix any 
time soon. The bug is in RpcMgmtWaitServerListen. It should wait on some 
synchronisation object, which RpcMgmtStopServerListening should signal.
