RtlpNotOwnerCriticalSection caused creation of dump file

[Jason]

My application is run in service.
It has generated a crash dump file, but does not stop.

The dump file show
"The application attempted to release a resource it did not own."

My question is could I stop generated dump file for this error ?
Previously we don't have this kind of crash dump file until we have
installed win2003 patches.

Thanks

Hi Jason,
It seems that your Windows 2003 was configured to generate dump file. I
recommend that you try the following steps to disable writing debug
information to see if it helps:
Right click "My Computer", click Properties, switch to the Advanced tab,
click Settings in the Startup and Recovery frame, select "Write debugging
information" to (none) and click OK.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other
questions or concerns.

Thanks Charles.
Actually I do want the server to create dump file.
I just don't want to have dump file generated because of "The application
attempted to release a resource it did not own.", which we don't have it
before install the service patch for Win 2003 Server.

Hi Jason,
From the list of updates in Windows Server 2003 SP1,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824721, we can find that actually it is a
product issue that originally Windows Error Reporting may not create a dump
file in Windows Server 2003 (see 837018). Since Windows Server 2003 fixed
the issue, you see the dump file generated.

You may try adding your service filename to "List of applications to never
report errors for" under the folder Administrative Templates->System->Error
Reporting->Advanced Error Reporting settings in Group Policy Object Editor
(Run gpedit.msc from command line) to see if it helps.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or
concerns. Have a nice day!
