Steve, I'm with you - the issue does look unpleasantly similar.  I wonder
whether some experimentation with running the redirector under a local
account with particular rights set might tell you which right was required,
and hence which one might be causing an issue?

But in the longer term, the stack trace shows it's faulting in the
redirector's TerminateFilter, while waiting on a critical section.  Looking
at this plus the identical stack trace in Bugzilla, it does feel like it's
an issue with the redirector.

Does it always happen in your app, or is it intermittent?  If intermittent,
is it more likely to trigger when something's under load?
