to these calls:

CoSuspendClassObjects();

Not sure if I have a COM related issue or a problem that is caused by a

Any thoughts?

Thank you

According to "Inside ATL" _Module is defined as
class CExeModule : public CComModule
{
public:
    LONG Unlock();
    DWORD dwThreadID;
    HANDLE hEventShutdown;
    void MonitorShutdown();
    bool StartMonitor();
    bool bActivity;
};
extern CExeModule _Module;

So it is inherited from CComModule.
I believe it is found in the atlbase.h

I don't have it in front of me to verify that.
