FIX: SSRS 2008 R2 crashes when you use SSRS 2008 R2 to render the enhanced metafile (.emf) format or print many reports at the same time

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 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 2008 R2 fix release.

When you use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS 2008) to render the enhanced metafile (.emf) format or print many reports at the same time, SSRS 2008 periodically experiences one or more of the following issues:

• No further .emf format reports can be rendered or printed.
• The CPU usage of the ReportingServicesService.exe process increases to 100%.
• The ReportingServicesService.exe process crashes and then restarts. When this occurs, the following error may be logged in the System Event Log:
  
  
  The SQL Server Reporting Services (<InstanceName>) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this # time(s).
  
  
  When this issue occurs you may see the following error in the SSRS log file:
  
  
  reportrendering!ReportServer_0-3!748!12/01/2010-02:12:11:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.UnhandledReportRenderingException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.UnhandledReportRenderingException: An error occurred during rendering of the report. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.OnDemandReportRendering.ReportRenderingException: An error occurred during rendering of the report. ---> System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory.
