Issues that this hotfix rollup resolves

Issue 1

DirectorySearcher.FindOne() may throw overflow exceptions when it runs as a 32-bit process that is linked with the LARGEADDRESSAWARE compiler flag and runs on a 64-bit operating system that is configured to use 3 gigabytes (GB) of memory. Applications hosted inside IIS may see this exception when w3wp.exe is compiled as a LARGEADDRESSAWARE application.

This fix makes sure that memory addresses greater than 2 GB are handled correctly.

Issue 2

Symptoms

Copying formatted text from a long XPS document can take several minutes, depending on the position of the text within the document, and can cause the application to freeze.

Cause

This issue occurs because some formatting declarations require scanning the document from the beginning up to the desired selection. These declarations are rare (they come from custom elements that have a TextElementEditingBehaviorAttribute that is not marked IsTypographicOnly).

The logic has been changed in this hotfix to avoid the expensive scan when no such declarations appear in the desired selection.

Issue 3

When a third-party application queries .NET performance counters either concurrently or multiple times within a few milliseconds, a divide-by-zero error may occur based on the last time performance counters were queried.
