LoadLibrary fails with the error 999: ERROR_SWAPERROR: Error performing inpage operation.

[EDN Admin]

Hello,
In order to diagnose stability issues with our software, we have reduced the problem by building an application that loads/unloads infinitly a native C++ dll (rebased) through a network share. After a while (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 15 jours), the
LoadLibrary fails with the error 999: ERROR_SWAPERROR: Error performing inpage operation. Im suspecting a problem with the network share or network latency is causing LoadLibrary to fail. Our original problem consists of great instability with our software
when it is ran on a Terminal Server with its files (executable, dll, etc.) accessed through a network share. The software crashes, with no recognizable pattern, with an EXCEPTION_IN_PAGE_ERROR. Procmon simply informs us of a "Network Error". Wireshark informs
us that no network requests to the file server are done when the application crashes...very strange. If we copy the files locally, on the Terminal Server, all runs well. Since we do not have any control on how the paging of the dll is done, we tried to simulate
it through infinite calls to LoadLibrary. Are both problems related? Anyone with any ideas?
