>Description:
On the first call to __rpc_createerr() in a thread, the function attempts to allocate a thread-specific slot to hold the rpc error data.  Subsequent calls from the same thread continue to allocate new thread-specific slots without freeing the first, so that repeated calls eventually result in all available thread-specific data slots being allocated.
