I don't know the full story with IS6:  I haven't experimented with that 
particular bug.  But, generally speaking, you can't just fudge threads 
for processes; if a.exe runs b.exe, and exepects to speak to it via 
RPC, there's basically no hope of getting around the cross-process 
nature of the problem.
