Consider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0 assembly. A thread that uses the single-threaded apartment (STA) COM
threading model raises Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events. In this
scenario, the assembly may deadlock. Therefore, all WMI events can potentially
be blocked.
