System.Threading.Timers.Timer (also) has issues
As many .NET developers know, we can't use System.Timers.Timer because it sometimes does not fire the events in time. Hence, we are recommended to use System.Threading.Timers.Timer.
Yesterday I found one issue with this timer as well which I wanted to point out:

If you pass infinite as the due time then on some servers, the timer just stops working and never fires again. I usually test with all windows updates (optional + important). On such a system this never happened.
However, we did notice this happening on a test machine yesterday. It was a 2008 R2 VM.
To get it working, I pass the same value as period to the due time. So far, this seems to be working.
[Update] It does not work. I now stop the timer, reset the interval and start it again. Hopefully this works.
