Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package but were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  • Repeated calls to the CoInitialize function, the CoCreateInstance function, the Release function, and the CoUninitialize function on the same thread causes a memory leak.
  • Concurrent XA_RECOVER operations that are initiated on separate threads may cause the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) proxy to stop responding.
  • A registry handle leak in the Rpcss.exe process causes profile unload failures.
  • Computer beeps continuously if an SC_SCREENSAVE event or an SC_MONITORPOWER event occurs during a pending COM call.
  • The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service quits unexpectedly, and the following event is logged:

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: MSDTC
    Event ID: 4168
    Description:
    The MS DTC Transaction Manager is in an inconsistent state and cannot proceed. Please contact PSS. (null) File: .\tmlufind.cpp, Line: 726
  • COM+ multithreaded apartment (MTA) thread pool logic causes increased CPU usage. Eventually, the Dllhost.exe process uses 100 percent of CPU resources.
  • A Remote Procedure Call service (RPCSS) token leak causes Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) not to close connections after clients log off.
  • Queued COM+ application stops responding during an idle shutdown.
  • When you add a Distributed File System (DFS) link to the system PATH variable, a long logon delay occurs.
  • You cannot debug COM+ components in Microsoft Visual Basic IDE in Microsoft Windows XP after you install the MS04-012 security update.
  • The MSDTC service may quit unexpectedly, and you receive the following access violation message on your Windows XP-based computer in some disabled network scenarios:
    Access violation - code c0000005
  • The MS04-012 security update may cause performance degradation because it disables catalog caching in RPCSS for COM+ class information.
