SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
- You programmatically connect to a Server Cluster Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider.
- You perform enumerations of the MSCluster_ResourceToPossibleOwner class to monitor state changes in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based server cluster.
In this scenario, the Wmiprvse.exe process consumes an ever-increasing amount of available memory. Eventually, your program crashes.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a memory leak in the Server Cluster WMI provider (Cluswmi.dll).
