MessageQueue.Send() crashes if called by multiple threads

Morten Nielsen -

I found this bug which was caused in our REST-API at RemoteX which was a bit strange.

It was an InvalidCastException being thrown inside Microsofts MSMQ libraries. So a quick Google found this following reported issue:

In short, in a threaded environment never send arbitrary objects over an MSMQ channel, instead send Messages with the content.
