SYMPTOMS
When you try to manually update table statistics in Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the following message may be logged in the SQL Server error log:

server Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0

server Process 905:0 (19c4) UMS Context 0x0000000053E318F0 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 11.

server Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0

server Process 916:0 (2ca8) UMS Context 0x0000000053E612F0 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 24.

server Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0

server Process 643:0 (236c) UMS Context 0x0000000053E73EB0 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 39.

Additionally, you may also experience this problem when you use a high sampling size. For example, you may use 50 percent of the rows in a table as the sample size.

Note Typically, this problem occurs on an IA-64 architecture-based computer.

For a list of previous hotfixes, see the &quot;Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4&quot; section in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

RESOLUTION
The installer does not install this hotfix correctly on x64-based systems. This installation issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * The system uses the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD64 processor architecture or the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processor architecture.

Note This issue does not occur on systems that use the Intel Itanium processor architecture.
 * The system is running a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows Server operating system.
 * The system is running a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2000.

We have corrected this installation issue in later builds of SQL Server 2000, starting with version 8.00.2244. When a customer who is running SQL Server 2000 on an x64-based system requests this hotfix, we will provide a build that includes this hotfix and that can be installed correctly on an x64-based system. The build that we provide will be version 8.00.2244 or a later version.
