BUG #: 17001 (NT: 6.5.258)
SYMPTOMS
SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 3 (build 6.5.258) introduced trace flag 1211 to provide additional lock management functionality, such as enabling retry on allocation lock collision. However, if you enable "lock retries" through this trace flag, either at server startup or with the global TRACEON command, you will not see the enhanced behavior.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 3. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 U.S. Service Pack.
