Article ID: 187370 - Last Review: July 19, 2006 - Revision: 5.0 FIX: Large Number of Client Disconnects May Cause an Access Violation in Open Data ServicesThis article was previously published under Q187370
BUG #: 18017 (6.5)
SYMPTOMS
If an Open Data Services (ODS) application, such as SQL Server, is
processing a large number of client disconnection events, you may receive a
handled access violation (AV) within Open Data Services. Open Data Services is designed to shut down upon encountering an access violation. Therefore, when this problem occurs, the ODS application (such as SQL Server) will also be stopped. With SQL Server, the ERRORLOG file will contain output that looks something like the following before the process exits:

MORE INFORMATION
This problem is not specific to the use of any network library or packet
size. Because the problem is within Open Data Services, any ODS application
may encounter this problem, not just SQL Server.
