FIX: In IIS 6.0, Script Debugger breaks on an incorrect line of code when you debug an ASP page that contains double-byte characters

Consider the following scenario. You debug an Active Server Pages (ASP) page that is running in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. The ASP page contains double-byte characters. In this scenario, Microsoft Script Debugger breaks on an incorrect line of code.

This problem occurs because the double-byte characters cause the Asp.dll file to return an incorrect offset. The number of double-byte characters that the ASP page contains directly affects the offset that the Asp.dll file returns. For example, if an ASP page contains many double-byte characters, the debug breakpoint occurs on a line of code that is far away from the expected line of code.
