Any chance of getting a hotfix for the stale data in the pagefile problem?
This is really cramping our automated testing collecting excess dumps.
We’ve using Kernel Memory Dumps on XP, typically about 24-30MB. I’m waiting
on the file size to stop growing for 1 minute before I try the MoveFile()
which succeeds without error. What I did not realize is that MoveFile()
would return before the move completed. I’ll try MoveFileEx() using
MoveFile_Write_Through. I added the code to try and delete the dump because
we were seeing the extra unexpected dumps (stale data in the pagefile
problem) and I suspected the MoveFile() failed to delete the original
Memory.dmp.
Thanks for your help!
…Ed

The problem is some stale data in the first page of the pagefile, which
causes us to believe there is a dump file present when there really is not.
This will be fixed in SP1.
If you are generating full dumps, then you do have to wait a while for the
operations to complete if you want to delete the file.
