Greetings,

This is a popup that I recieve from the Vault client after adding an item comment.

The client is version: 2.0.6 (2219)
I am commenting 3 files together which are marked for deletion.
The comment is 171 charactors long.

The comments is still being saved, so I guess this is more for your information.

This is a (pretty) harmless error having to do with the garbage collection and finalization of mutex objects. Vault 3.0 uses a different locking mechanism (.NET framework Mutex objects instead of Win32 Mutex objects), so this error should go away.
