BUG#: 14952 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
LOAD TRANSACTION may fail with the errors:

udwritem: Operating system error 6(The handle is invalid.) on device ....

ex_testhandle: stack overflow, top=0x17a7f10, end=0x17a7f10

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

The actual stack of the AV in this case can be many different places. The SQL Server may now become unresponsive and have to be restarted. The database being loaded will have to be recreated.



CAUSE
If there are many open transactions at the time of the DUMP TRANSACTION, the DUMP cannot be LOADed because of the above errors.



WORKAROUND
DUMP the database and re-sync the transaction logs.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
