CoCreateInstance leak on Win2008

[listentwice]

This is very simple windows service (COM server) using ATL/COM with VS2005. I also have a console app (COM client) performing a CoCreateInstance() and a subsequent release.

When run on W2K3/SP1 everything is fine, no memory leak. However, on W2K8 it leaks a few bytes (in the service) for every client call to CoCreateInstance(). I have the client code in a sizable loop so that the leak is large enough to show up in the Task Manager (Private Working Set) memory. The memory of the service increases 8K-18K bytes for the loop below.

I have tried it without a explicit constructor or destructor (and many other things) but no change. I expect I am missing something obvious but I don’t see it. I have stripped the VS2005 project down so that it is fairly bare-bones code. So I can post larger sections of it here, or email it if needed.

Local Server code:

    _Module.dwThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId();
    CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
    CSecurityDescriptor sd;
    sd.InitializeFromThreadToken();
    CoInitializeSecurity(sd, -1, NULL, NULL,
            RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT, RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, NULL, EOAC_NONE, NULL);
    _Module.RegisterClassObjects(CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER | CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER,
                                      REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE);

Local Client code:

    INTELDCBLib::IIoControl* pControl;
    CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
    for (int k = 0; ULONG(k) < 2000; k++) {
       CoCreateInstance(INTELDCBLib::CLSID_IoControl, 
                        NULL, 
                        CLSCTX_ALL,
                        INTELDCBLib::IID_IIoControl, 
                        (void **)&pControl);
       pControl->Release();
       pControl = NULL;
    }

Server Object:

    class ATL_NO_VTABLE CIoControl : 
    	  public CComObjectRootEx<CComMultiThreadModel>,
	  public CComCoClass<CIoControl, &CLSID_IoControl>,
	  public IDispatchImpl<IIoControl, &IID_IIoControl, &LIBID_INTELDCBLib>
    {
    public:
        CIoControl() {};
        ~CIoControl() {};

    DECLARE_REGISTRY_RESOURCEID(IDR_IOCONTROL)

    DECLARE_PROTECT_FINAL_CONSTRUCT()

    BEGIN_COM_MAP(CIoControl)
	 COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IIoControl)
	 COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IDispatch)
    END_COM_MAP()

    public:
    private:
    };

Thanks! J
