ANOTHER Microsoft patch problem
This is getting to be like clockwork, but it sounds like this may be one of the nastiest problems so far. It appears that there is a problem with one of the recent patches from Microsoft MS06-49. It looks as though the problem is data corruption for small files (under 4096 bytes.) There’s a google groups thread here. The key factor seems to be that IF the folder is compressed, the data within is subject to this possible corruption.
I haven’t tried to do an official count, but it seems like one “problem child” update a month this year for MS.
Oh, and tomorrow (Tuesday the 12th) is patch day…. happy rebooting.
