A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server

Question

I'm getting a SQL Server error:

A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - The handle is invalid.)

I'm running Sql Server 2008 SP1, Windows 2008 Standard 64 bit.

It's a .net 4.0 web application. It happens when a request is made the server. It's intermittent. It happens every couple times.

Any idea's?
