Bug #: 474356 (SQL Server 8.0)

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 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 2000 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You run Microsoft SQL Server 2000 together with the Full Text Search component.
You start the filtering daemon (Mssdmn.exe) to parse Microsoft Office Word documents.

In this scenario, the Mssdmn.exe process may use lots of CPU capacity.

Note You can view the CPU capacity that this process uses by viewing the contents of the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager.

Back to the top

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a problem in the Office filter. The Office filter returns inconsistent results to the SQL protocol handler. Therefore, the SQL protocol handler repeatedly calls a particular function. The SQL protocol handler repeatedly calls this function until the filtering process times out.
