SYMPTOMS
When you try to publish or import a Web, thousands of .tmp files are created on the server, and the Author.exe or Inetinfo.exe process consumes all available resources, which will eventually cause the server to stop responding.



CAUSE
Two or more HTML pages include a style sheet reference to each other. This is caused by using the  tag, which references another page from which to inherit page attributes. Using this method of style sheets causes an infinite loop when recalculating hyperlinks. For example:

Page1 includes the following tag in its HTML code:

 Page2 includes the following tag in its HTML code: 



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make sure there are no instances of the  tag that refer to pages that point back to the referring page.

Additional query words: hang tmp temp
