FIX: Access Violation in IDBProperties::GetProperties When You Use OLE DB Service Components (301679)

SYMPTOMS

When a multithreaded application uses the OLE DB service components, if the application uses the same IDBProperties interface pointer to call the IDBProperties::GetProperties method simultaneously in two different threads, the call to GetProperties may fail with E_UNEXPECTED, or you may receive an access violation.

If you are using Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2), an access violation occurs. If you are using MDAC 2.6 SP1, E_UNEXPECTED is returned. In both cases, the call succeeds because the interface supports multithreaded access.
