msvcrt.dll!endthreadex+0x2f consuming all CPU

Asked by SPARITOPS in Microsoft Development, Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft IIS Web Server

Hello Experts!

I have a problem with an application running under IIS 6.0 (In IIS 5.0 Emulation Mode) and I currently have this application set to HIGH for an isolation mode so it uses it's own DLLHOST.exe.

Now, a few times a day the CPU on this server will go to 100%, and using Process Explorer, I am able to see that it is the DLLHOST for this application, and by looking at the threads for the DLLHOST it shows that MSVCRT.DLL!ENDTHREADEX+0x2f is the thread that is consuming al of it.

If I use Process Explorer to kill the thread (and yes, I have read the page that says you shouldn't do that) everything returns to normal and the system continues to function.

So my question to the community is this:

How do I figure out what is causing this (the application is not writtten in C) and why?Start Free Trial
