SYMPTOMS
The Windows Media Rights Manager may stop serving licenses.



CAUSE
A challenge string is converted to uppercase, which causes the license object to correctly report an error message. However, all further requests to new license objects created in the same process fail with a 2009 error message because an internal static table has become corrupted.
