Almost every time I do a checkin to VSTS and associate the changeset with a
workitem, I get an error dialog:

Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an
indication that other memory is corrupt

ok'ing gives me this:

Visual Studio Team System
Check in: Operation not performed
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication
that other memory is corrupt.
Please refer to the Output window for more information

However,
The changeset *is* committed
The linking to the work item doesn't happen
The output window doesn't have any additional information.

Any ideas? I've uninstaled the Refactor add-in, and it didn't make any
difference. Getting exceptions on check-in scares the pants off me.

Hi,

I did some research on this issue, but haven't come to a conclusion yet. If
you have several machines connecting to the same Team Foundation Server,
does this also happen on other machines? This will help us to narrow down
the issue, so that we can find if this is a server side problem or client
side one.

Ok, whilst this used to be pretty regular for me (reproducable on 100% of
check-ins), it hadn't happened for a while (a good two months or so). But it
happened again the other day.

What's more I have now seen this happen on another machine (but just the
once). We have a team of about 20+ developers checking stuff into this TFS
box all the time, so I'd be surprised if it was a server-side issue (I'd
expect to see it much more often).

Final versions of VSTS and VS2005 in use (not using beta service pack for
VS2005)

Hi,

Yes, as you can see, this is a Visual studio client error. Based on my
research, it is a known issue. Here is a KB article talking about this
issue.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922531

A hotfix is available now. You can contact Microsoft PSS to get the hotfix.
The link to the contact information is in the article.

HTH.
