0x88980406 SyncFlush() ...Is there a workaround?

I get this exception in my application. I have found links discussing it on the web but nothing indicating how to track it down and/or workaround it.

Please do not reply with links from the internet. Please reply with strategies of tracking the source. Please reply with workarounds if you found them.

Solution

In my case it turned out the application in question was already pressing up on memory limits of its specced hardware. Any time I added code that used a decent amount of memory this would crop up.

I ended up using a MemoryFailPoint mechanism when I implemented a feature that placed processing an image buffer on another thread.

First implementation did the trick but after many tries QA caused a OOM bomb. So I implemented a MemoryFailPoint() with GC.Collect() loop (hackish I know...but sometimes...get er done).

The main things I learned were:

This is a really bad bug in WPF.
You only have to worry about it if you have truly consumed an inordinate amount of memory.
