SYMPTOMS

On busy symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computers, queries against the virtual table sysprocesses may infrequently get a handled access violation, causing the client connection to be terminated. Other clients are unaffected. The call stack of the access violation will look similar to the following:

findwaitfor+0x2f
ins_sysproc+0x7fc
make_fake+0xe8
s_setuptables+0x2bc
s_execute+0x7d8
sequencer+0x23f
execproc+0xfb7
s_execute+0xb8c
sequencer+0x23f
language_exec+0x65e
                

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 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.
