Bug #: 472245 (SQL Server 8.0)
Bug #: 472710 (SQL Server 8.0)

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

When you stop a full-text search in SQL Server 2000, latch time-out errors may be written to the SQL Server error log, and full-text queries may not be returned. These errors in the SQL Server error log appear similar to the following:

2005-03-08 13:28:52.19 spid135 WARNING: EC 617e9520, 0 waited 300 sec. on latch ade250. Not a BUF latch.
