Hello Kyle,

Yes, those were the registry keys we were pointed to by a collegue
from Avanade. We tried running the application pool using the
configurable user, IWAM_MACHINE_NAME, granting him full administration
rights to find out whether it was a permissions problem or not. The
crash kept happening.

The thing is that we are unable to reproduce the problem in our
development environment. One issue dragged my attention. I tried
throwing requests to the web server in the dev environment and just
ended the w3wp.exe process from the task manager. The 1011 eventId was
logged!!! If I do this when no request is being processed, the 1009
eventId is logged. So, it seems these are very generic errors.

I'm tending now to think we are doing something very wrong in our
application code. I installed the iisDebugTools.exe and tried using
the iisCrashHangAgent and iisDumpAgent. Well, got the crash agent
working, but can't get it to do the memory dump when it detects the
crashing. I followed all the docs config indications (preaction or
something like that, etc..) but it won't event change the debugLevel
global parameter. I read about some bug in this tool regarding the
iiscrashangagnet.dll and .ini files permissions. Gave full rights for
everone but nothing.

This is becoming very frustrating as not even the debug tools would
work properly!!! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Excuse me.

How can I find out what exact instruction is causing the w3wp.exe
process to crash????

Any help, ideas, prayings would be very welcome.

Cheers,

Gabriel.
