v10.0.1.3976 64 bit Windows 2008 Server 32GB RAM, 200-300 busy users, 150GB database

Does anyone recognise this assertion-

* ERROR * Assertion failed: 104301 (10.0.1.3976) Attempt to free a user descriptor with non-zero reference count

The db engine apears to freeze every 30 - 60 mins & needs restarting.

It doesn't seem to be a corruption problem, we have restored back to a point sometime before it started happening and rolled logs forward - just starts happening again. No obvious correlation with any particular activity so far.

Thanks

Is this assertion failure the apparent cause of the freeze or is it happening when you shutdown the server after it freezes?

Its not clear - I'll try to find out more.

Following an update to build 4501, things seem stable. The timing of the assertion still isn't clear - we probably won't be able to be sure unless the problem re-occurs. Thanks for taking a look.

Upgrade to build 4501 seems to fix - not clear what caused problem to start happening, however there were network config changes made around the time that the problem started.
