What could make a service on a Windows Server 2003
create a 0-sized (ie empty) <processname>.<pid>.mdmp file
on exit. On another system (both are Win Server 2k SP2)
this does not happen. It happens when the process exits cleanly
itself or if it is stopped using the windows service management console.


I had a look at patch differences between both systems and
nothing seems to be related to those empty .mdmp files.

The service runs fine in any other respect, it's just these
files being generated whenever it is stopped.

Any hints could be appreciated
