CRM 2011: Updating the reocrd in plugin after invalid plugin execution exception

Question

HI All,
I am updating the record which triggering a plugin. on a webexception I am trying to update the same record in catch block, but not successful. If I use ExecuteMultipleRequest with continueonError = true, then program stucks and crash with timeout exception.
If I user OrgService.Update then it rolls it back.
Please suggest.
THanks
Hassan

Structure is something like this:
public voidExecute(IServiceProviderserviceProvider)
   try{  }
    catch(WebException ex){
             //upon failure of re-enrolment set the application
back to normal settings
                Entity
app =
new
Entity("contact");
                app["middlename"]
= "test";
                app.Id = contact.Id;
                UpdateRequest
updateRequest =
new
UpdateRequest();
                updateRequest.Target = app;
                ExecuteMultipleRequest
mulReq =
new
ExecuteMultipleRequest()
                   Requests =
new
OrganizationRequestCollection(),
                   Settings =
new
ExecuteMultipleSettings()
                          ContinueOnError =
true,
                           ReturnResponses =
false
                  mulReq.Requests.Add(updateRequest);
                  var
reqponse = service.Execute(mulReq);
                 if(webEx.Response
!= null)
                   if(webEx.Response.ContentLength
> 0)
WebApiResult<RegisterForPreEnrolmentRequestMessage>
resultEx = ParseResponse<WebApiResult<RegisterForPreEnrolmentRequestMessage>>(webEx.Response.GetResponseStream());
                         HandleWebApiError(resultEx.Error);
In exception block if I use different record then it updates but if I use the same record to update in executemultiplerequest then it just freezes and comes back with timeout exception.
please suggest!
Thanks
