Reconnect to SDE by IWorkspaceFactoryStatus causes errors

Hi, there,

I am investigating an error (could be one message from two possible messages in the log file) in this method - ConnectWorkspace().

1) error message 1: "Unable to cast SdeWorkspaceFactoryClass to IWorkspaceFactoryStatus

OR

2) error message 2: “The server threw an exception. (Exception from ... (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))”

It works in a windows service every minute. It seems to be failed after SDE compress. SDE compress executes every night. But the method fails every other week.

Questions:

1)  What line in the code below throws error message 2?

1a) After error message 2 each run of that method creates an additional connection to SDE as a result of that a "Maximum Number of Connections ..." error appears after some time (hours).

2)  How you explain the code in the line:

     IWorkspaceFactoryStatus pWorkspaceFactoryStatus = new ESRI.ArcGIS.DataSourcesGDB.SdeWorkspaceFactoryClass();

   I have no idea why it works and doesn't fail at the first time?

3) Could it be some how linked to memory leaks in the service (I see they exist. I use Red Gate ANTS Memory Profiler)?

4) How to reproduce that errors? I cannot reproduce it in a simple winform using classes from that winservice? Is there any difference how I run the method ConnectWorkspace() and how it runs in the service?

Thanks for any ideas.
