APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0

-





SYMPTOMS
Applications that use Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0 (also known as MSMQ) may stop responding without any indication of why the application has stopped responding. One known example of this problem occurs when multiple Web clients access a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web-based solution by using Message Queuing 3.0. The Web server may stop responding after several users have accessed the solution.



CAUSE
By default, diagnostic tracing is enabled in Message Queuing 3.0. Message Queuing initializes tracing in the Mqrt.dll DllMain function without the -DLL switch. Because of this behavior, applications that use Message Queuing and that activate diagnostic tracing may stop responding.
