.NET Framework 1.1 sp1 breaks our application!

We're having problems with events from a Windows Forms Control embedded in a
web page not firing in javascript after installing sp1 of the .net 1.1
framework. I have de-installed SP1 and can confirm that the problem is
solved by reverting to the original 1.1 framework.

For some background on sinking events in IE script, read the following:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316516

To demonstrate the problem, I have created a simple control with an event.
The assembly is strong named, and a code group/permission set for the strong
named assembly has been created with Security --> calls to unmamanged
assemblies enabled (needed to be able to fire events in JScript). The
SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode is asserted before firing the event,
otherwise the standard permissions for the relevent zone are used which
disallow calls to unmanagaged code. Also note that the
AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute has been set. In the original .NET
1.1 framework, clicking the button on the web page fires the event in the
control - the message is alerted in the JScript. In the SP1 framework, the
"EVENT NOT FOUND" message appears. After clicking outside the control, then
clicking on the control, the event will then subsequently fire correctly. We
attempted to simulate by calling the click() method on various objects but to
no avail.

Changing the permission set for the relevent zone to one that allows
unamanaged code solves the problem, but of course it leaves a gaping security
hole and is therefore not a viable solution.

Any suggestions for a solution or workaround would be most gratefully
received.

We started an MSDN incident about this issue. Eventually, the support rep
admitted that they have a problem. She said they'd probably work on a hot
fix. That was about a week ago. Today she got back to us and said that we
shouldn't expect a fix any time soon.

The MS workaround for the problem is to add a site code group instead of
using a strong name code group.

it to microsoft to get a fix?
