FIX: An access violation occurs when you start an application that runs on the CLR

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you start an application that runs on the common language runtime (CLR), an access violation occurs. This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
  • The computer has more than 32 Itanium (IA-64) processors.
  • Server garbage collection is enabled.

Cause

When server garbage collection is enabled on the Itanium-based system, there is an array that has 32 elements to store the heap. Before an allocation on a thread is made, the heap should be determined by the index that corresponds to current CPU. When the CPU number exceeds 32, an access violation occurs.
