Issues that this hotfix rollup resolves
Issue 1:ASP.NET applications that access additional functionality by using the application configuration settings can experience a deadlock at startup.
Issue 2:The NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 applications will throw a NullReferenceException when they use GetEnvironmentVariable if the registry key does not exist.
Issue 3:DirectorySearcher.FindOne() may throw overflow exceptions when it runs as a 32-bit process that is linked with the LARGEADDRESSAWARE compiler flag and it runs on an 64-bit operating system that is configured to use the 3 GB memory. Applications hosted inside IIS may see this exception as w3wp.exe is compiled as a LARGEADDRESSAWARE application. This fix makes sure that memory addresses greater than 2 GB are handled correctly.
Issue 4:When an update is being installed, Fusion can access a state where NGEN is called repeatedly. This causes entries in the following registry key keep to grow until the computer freezes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\NGenService\Roots HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\NativeImagesIndex
