I took a look at the trace, and the sequence of calls doesn't match what
the code is. But there's an exception catch occurring ahead of the end of
the stack that makes me think it's a problem with IIS shutting down the
filter ahead of the exception's handler running inside the filter. That
would be, frankly, a bug in IIS, but I'll reserve judgement for the moment.

I think there should be a Windows event log indication of the filter
recording an exception of some sort. The filter logs something there any
time there's an exception propagated that far. If not, I don't understand
the stack trace, and since I can't reproduce the crash, I can't debug into
it.

Depending on whether there's an event log entry, I may have other ideas.

I think the crash is really about something else, and the trace might just
be a crash during the response to the real problem.
