-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) enters a recursive loop and creates
more than 7,000 threads under the following circumstances:
- A Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) program uses ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)
and Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2 to retrieve data.
-and-
- The ASP page runs in Isolated or Pooled Out-of-Process mode on Microsoft
Windows 2000.
-or-
- The ASP page runs in Out-of-Process mode on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service
Pack 6a.
The first ASP request completes and returns a result to the client. However, when
the Web Application Manager (WAM) cleans up after the request, WAM enters a
recursive loop that ends only when the system runs out of resources or when the
CacheCreateThread function stops responding.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because the ODBC Driver for DB2 incorrectly calls the
CoInitializeEx function on a newly created thread.
RESOLUTION
==========
Microsoft recommends that you use the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 instead
of ODBC Driver for DB2.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
