Bug #: 795 (SQL Hotfix)



SYMPTOMS
When an application performs an XSLT transform by using Microsoft XML (MSXML) 3.0, the application may cause an access violation in the MSXML 3.0 parser.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Microsoft XML 3.0 parser does not correctly add reference entries that are added to a hash table. This behavior can cause a crash if the garbage collector frees the reference entries before the entries are used.
