Failed to register our RPC number Num with RPC server ProblemInfo

Description 

The RPC listener process (RPC_TCP_LI or RPC_UDP_LI) cannot process the RPC port that it is listening on. ProblemInfo describes the nature of the problem.

If the problem affects the RPC background process (RPCBG), the problem only occurs when that process is being used - for example, if synchronous JumpTo or Suspend case operations are being done.

2 (Severe)

Action 

Investigate which RPC ports are in use (using rpcinfo).

Note	On UNIX rpcinfo is a system command. On Windows it can be found in SWDIR\rpc.

If the RPC ports are in use by another program, this can be caused by a clash between programs. iProcess processes that listen on dynamic RPC ports listen on an RPC port that is based on their PID (+0x40000000). Alternatively, a process that was using such an RPC port has died or been killed, but the RPC port has not been released. The port must therefore be deleted before it can be registered by a new process.

Note	Use rpcinfo -t to check if a process is listening on an RPC port. If there is no response, you can use rpcinfo -d to delete the port.
