"Could not read memory" error

[news.microsoft.com]

Who knows what it means when a Windows XP Pro SP2 produces a transient error
window from aspnet_state.exe saying "instruction at [address] reference to
memory at [different address]. memory could not be read." every time it
shuts down? Do I need to do something special with data execution
prevention? What's wrong?

 

[Juan T. Llibre]

This happens because the operating system does not
allocate a large enough buffer for the data length sent.

When the data is greater than the buffer size, the OS generates the error message.

This can be a program bug, or be caused by
a corrupted file, library or kernel which executed.

I've seen the error crop up after using Adobe Reader to read a pdf,
but any of anumber of programs could be the cause, besides corrupted files.

I'm just a Windows XP user, who recently starting getting this error at
shutdown. How can I fix it?

There is a hot fix for this (well errors related to this), you should
contact microsoft or google MSDN to see if the fix is what you need.
