Strange XmlSerializer behaviour

Hello!
We have a serious problem with the class
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer
in .NET 1.1. The problem has occured on Windows 2000
Servers with Service Pack 2, 3 and 4. We havent tested
on Windows 2003 Servers yet. The error occurs on
some servers, but not on all. This code worked fine
in .NET 1.0.
The code looks like this:

XmlSerializer xs1 = new XmlSerializer(typeof
(MyClass1), "urn:name1");
XmlSerializer xs2 = new XmlSerializer(typeof
(MyClass2), "urn:name2");
XmlSerializer xs3 = new XmlSerializer(typeof
(MyClass3), "urn:name3");
XmlSerializer xs4 = new XmlSerializer(typeof
(MyClass4), "urn:name4");
XmlSerializer xs5 = new XmlSerializer(typeof
(MyClass5), "urn:name5");

The first 3 or 4 rows work fine, but then we get the
exception attached below. The problem does only occur (in
out tests) when we have signed the exe-file with our key.
An unsigned assembly does not seem to have this problem.
Our key is set to FullTrust.
Also, when running a test-program on this, I found that
the code above were executing very slow when the assembly
was signed, and much faster when the assembly was
unsigned.

Is this a known problem in .NET 1.1?
Is there a way to get around it?
I have a small test-program I can send you, if you want.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your post. Could you post a small test program and tell me the
detailed steps to reproduce the problem? I will be glad to check it on my
side.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a nice day!

Hello.
Thank you for your quick response!
I have mailed you the small test program to your
mailaddress.

Hi Michael,

I did not receive the sample. Did you remove "online" from my email address?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello!
I missed to remove the 'online' part. :-)
I have sent you a new mail.
Regards, Michael.
 
Hi Michael,

Thanks for your patience. I am not able to reproduce the problem on my
side, I checked on several Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 systems. I will
test on more machines.

Have a nice day!
