RESOLUTION
Hotfix information
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that this article describes. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.
To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Note In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific update will resolve your problem. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.
You should apply this hotfix to the system on which you use the compilers that are listed in the "Symptoms" section to compile the applications and drivers. These applications and drivers can be either cross-compiled from the x86 platform or natively compiled.
If you use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to compile these drivers and applications, you should not apply this hotfix. Additionally, if you notice that your drivers and applications do not have this problem, you should not apply this hotfix on the system on which you compile these drivers and applications.
Note Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 does not include an IA-64 compiler. For more information, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
Additionally, if you develop the applications in Windows Server 2003 for the IA-64 platform, you must use the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 SDK. Microsoft now only supports the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 SDK.
Vendors who use the compilers that are listed in the "Symptoms" section to compile applications or drivers should follow these steps:
- Apply this hotfix and scripts.
- Run the command file and script.
- Based on the script results, recompile any affected applications or drivers.
- Tell customers that they must have these recompiled binaries if the customers use the applications or drivers on Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 Processor 9000 Series-based computers.
- Distribute any recompiled applications or drivers to the customers.
Finally, vendors should use this compiler hotfix for all future hotfixes and changes to their current and future products. If vendors do not apply this hotfix, a change to the source code for a hotfix or changes to add new functionality may cause the compilers to create a vulnerable sequence of instructions. Vendors should use this hotfix until Microsoft releases the next version of the supported DDK and SDK. This version is expected to be the Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" Windows Development Kit (WDK).
