Hi,
It seems that KB983583 affects MSBuild. All my builds are hanging after installing this update on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
Here is a part of thread dump from TeamCity:
Thread id=3708 priority=8 state=Wait reason=ExecutionDelay at System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetNativeSortKey(System.Int32 lcid, System.Int32 flags, System.String source, System.Int32 cchSrc, System.Byte sortKey) at System.Globalization.CultureTableRecord.GetScriptTag(System.Int32 lcid, System.String script) at System.Globalization.CultureTableRecord.CacheSyntheticNameLcidMapping() at System.Globalization.CultureTableRecord.InitSyntheticMapping() at System.Globalization.CultureTable.GetCultures(System.Globalization.CultureTypes types) at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CultureStringUtilities.PopulateCultureInfoArray() at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CultureStringUtilities.IsValidCultureString(System.String cultureString) at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.ReferenceTable.FindSatellites(Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Reference reference) at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.ReferenceTable.FindAssociatedFiles() at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.ReferenceTable.ComputeClosure()
...
After uninstalling KB983583 everything works.
Did anybody reproduce this issue?
