Stuck DLL - Release DLL commands don't always work

Why do DLLs sometimes get stuck, and what can be done, besides restarting SC, when the two release commands don't work?

The two commands, under Build ACS, are "Release all DLLs and deny load" and "Release single DLL and deny load".

Could you add the first one as well as "Allow load DLLs" to the Analysis keyboard shortcut section?

Is there anything unusual about the DLL that is not releasing? How was it built? With the remote build or Visual C++?

They're built with Visual C++. It's a custom chart bar DLL. I make a lot of them, and sometimes one will get stuck. The DLLs are exactly the same except for several input values, and all of them load successfully and build bars and make binary bar data files, but then sometimes one of them will get stuck, and I can't really predict when it will happen, so my workaround is to build the bars with a DLL, spit out the data, restart SC, and load the next one. Sometimes I do it 100 times or more, and it works. It's about 15 seconds slower than removing the DLL, releasing it, deleting it, and loading the next one.
