New This patch can break stuff.
There was a nice long thread on NTBugTraq about this particular little patch, indicating that people were experiencing breakage with it.

Breakage like 100% CPU usage and nonresponsive systems.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

New We saw that too.
During a meeting discussing the results of testing, it was brought up that NT4 servers with anything less than service pack 6a showed these symptoms. I don't remember any other breakage found. As the instructions for the patch stress having the latest service pack, I'm not sure I'd class this as 'breakage'. I haven't read the bugtrak thread though so there may well be other things I haven't heard of.

It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why?
Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand.
