Buffer Overrun?

Over the past couple of days we have seen the following message in the SQL
Server Logs:
"SqlSecurityHandler is invoked. Potential buffer overrun detected - server
is terminating."
At this point, the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent will terminate and have
to be restarted. We are running SQL2000(SP4) on Windows Server '03 (no SP).
Has anyone else seen this?We've just seen the error. Our production environment went down with that
message in the log. It took about 8 hours before we were up and running
again. (The Sql Server automatically started a restore operation)
We are also running SQL2000(SP4) on Windows Server 2003.
Veritas NetBackup had just finished a backup when the error occurred.
I really hope that Microsoft can help out with this, cause this is a
_serious_ problem.
SQL server just terminates!
Do you have any new information?

Anyway, from what we've seen, it definitely seems to be related to backups.
We disabled all backup activities this weekend, and from that on we haven't
seen the problem. (fingers crossed though)
We'll keep investigating.
Would be interesting to hear if its backups thats causing your problems as
well?
