We have a customer who is complaining about a ConnectAttach call from MediaPlayer to devb-umass hanging.  Investigation 
has shown that the MediaPlayer thread has over 10000 channels open.  The kernel call scans the channels vector looking 
for a chance to re-use an existing channel before it locks, and this huge channels vector results in the call being 
continually preempted before it has a chance to complete.

Are there any known problems with MediaPlayer that can explain the large number of open channels?  Or is this normal 
behaviour?

Is this the right place to ask this question?

Thanks for any assistance.
