Microsoft fixes memory bug in security patch
Microsoft has fixed a bug in a critical security patch that may have been causing problems for some Windows Server 2003 users. The bug is in the critical MS06-040 Windows Server services update, released earlier in August. It affects programs that use up very large chunks of memory on some versions of Windows. According to Microsoft, programs such as Microsoft Navision 3.7, which require allocations of more than 1G byte of memory, can crash after the update is installed. Most Windows systems do not experience the bug, but Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and the 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional Edition are affected. Microsoft’s hotfix for the problem can be downloaded from their site.
