SYMPTOMS
When you try to publish a document in the Document Library, the portal may stop responding (hang). As a result, you cannot publish the document in Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if you publish a document when the Microsoft Search service (MSSearch) is in a state of recovery. For example, this problem may occur when MSSearch is shut down unexpectedly and you publish a document while the restart and recovery of MSSearch is still in progress. In this situation, Msdmserv threads are blocked in IGatherNotify::OnDataChange, and the portal stops responding (hangs).
