APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DB2 9 installed on 32-bit Windows XP / Windows Server 2003
  systems that have the MSVCR80.DLL in their system PATH may
  experience sporadic hangs. If it is indeed this problem, there
  will be a Windows Application event log entry similar to this
  recorded: "Application popup: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime
  Library : Runtime Error! Program: C:\IBM\SQLLIB\bin\db2syscs.exe
  R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime
  library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support
  team for more information. For more information, see Help and
  Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
  .
  Any attempts to interact with DB2 either locally or remotely
  (e.g. connect, attach, various DB2 utilities, etc.) will result
  in the command hanging/freezing and the command never returning.
  The only way to get the command to complete is to switch to the
  console session of the 32-bit Windows XP/Windows Server 2003
  system and clicking OK to close pop up window that appears
  indicating the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library load
  failure.
  .
  The pop up window only appears and the server only hangs when
  math-related operations are performed by the server which makes
  use of the Intel Math library. It's this library that tries and
  fails to load the manifested MSVCR80.DLL which results in the
  pop up window.
  .
  On some machines where MSVCR80.DLL can be found in the system
  PATH, this manifested DLL clashes with the other Microsoft
  C-Runtime DLLs that DB2 relies on and this results in a pop up
  window (on the console session in the case of Windows Server
  2003) that hangs the DB2 server until the OK button is clicked.
  

Local fix

• Although not a particularly practical workaround,
  renaming/removing the application that put MSVCR80.DLL into the
  system PATH will effectively resolve this problem.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:   Windows XP/2003 users.
  Problem Description:  Some DB2 commands might hang if
  MSVCR80.DLL is found in the PATH
  

Problem conclusion

• First fixed in DB2 Version 9, FixPak 1
  

Temporary fix
