Hi all,

We are experiencing occasional crashes of the w3wp.exe process on our
MCMS box.  This is the Application Event Log error:

Source: Application Error
Category: (100)
Event ID: 1004

Reporting queued error: faulting application w3wp.exe, version
6.0.3790.0, faulting module REAuthFilt.dll, version 5.0.4484.0, fault
address 0x00008613.

OR

Source: Application Error
Category: (100)
Event ID: 1000

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.0, faulting module
REAuthFilt.dll, version 5.0.4484.0, fault address 0x00008613.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing these?  They do
not seem to be related to any particular event.

TIA

Chandy

Hi Chandy,

Is the machine a multi-processor machine?

If so see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=821157

Hi Angus,

the ISAPI filter is not written with .NET framework. So the .NET framework
patch will not help.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Chandy,

this sounds as if you should open a support case with Microsoft.
Crashes in the ISAPI filter are not a known issue and we will need to
analyze a crash dump of your application.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Angus,

Yes it is.  My previous experience with the issue described in that KB
article is a MCMS site that wouldn't run at all without the patch (2
processors).  This is a different set of templates but the same
version of MCMS and quad processors.  The site seems to work 99.9% of
the time on this configuration without the hotfix.  Why would this be?
Should I still install it? (given it is not thouroughly tested).

Chandy

Hello Stefan [MSFT],

Ah... I remember it like it was yesterday... actually FEB-14, 2004 when I go
t the call at 7a and my CMS servers were down.  Next thing we knew, we were 
9 minutes from the end of the 4hr limit on my PSS critical call when someone
 had the idea to install th
is hotfix, saving the day and two engineers from getting on a plane to fly t
o my servers (and me getting on a plane to do the same since my servers were
 5 states away from me).

KB Article: 821157
Request Hotfix: 129148

What happens is when you build assemblies with certain flags, the assembly g
rabs a tiny chunk of the 2GB of memory the framework has allocated.  The pro
blem is that the assembly grabs a block in the middle of the 2GB chunk... wh
en the framework goes to gr
ab 1 continous chunk from the 2GB block is has, it can't because the assembl
y has a small block in the middle.  No error thrown, just drops.  I started 
with a .NET guy, then a IIS guy, and finally a CMS guy said he had seen the 
hotfix resolve it.  Hard pa
rt is there were zero errors in the event log or anywhere... including in th
e debug collection stuff they sent me.
