I am experiencing exactly the behaviour in KB818540.

However, when I try to e-mail MS Tech support it asks for
a product ID but I bought it on licensing and don't have a
product ID. The eOpen website will not expand the product
(so I can't see what it says in there). The find product
ID doesn't list SQL Server as a product.

And I'm not paying to call Microsoft for a known bug!!!

Does anyone know a way I can get the patch for this???

This is a known issue and MS will not charge if they deem that the
problem you have is the problem described. Give the PSS guys a call.

However, they will take my credit card number before I
speak to anyone. If it isn't this issue I get charged
£169+VAT which is ridiculous.

I really want to apply the patch and see if the problem
goes away! With no risk to my bank balance!

Cheers,

Spoke to someone really quite helpful at SQL Server
support in Reading and he suggested simply installing the
security patch in KB821277 which changes it to build:
2000.080.0818.00 (from 760).

All sorted now! I didn't even know this patch was about.

Joel.
