SYMPTOMS
On an Itanium-based computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, a user dump file may contain incorrect values for some generic registers. These registers include registers r4 to r7.
The register values incorrectly change to constant values between the first-chance exception and the second-chance exception. Then, the incorrect values are written to the user dump file.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the NT kernel does not report the correct register values to the debugger.
