BUG #: 16290 (Windows NT: 6.5)



SYMPTOMS
When a client disconnects without a commit or a rollback on a transaction involving a global temporary table, and if the temporary table is being accessed by another client, it generates an access violation (AV) and the server stops responding. When this happens, the MSSQLServer service is not controllable using Service Control Manager functions, and must be closed by using Windows NT Resource Kit utilities or by shutting down Windows NT.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
