One of our critical systems locked up with an “Exception: possible deadlock condition” on March 18 2013 at approx. 6:44 pm. The user had to perform a hard restart. Upon reviewing the system event log, I discovered several errors relating to the SAVOnAccessControl service; in particular, two occur, the system deadlock is captured, and then SAVOnAccessControl continues to have multiple errors, which I assume are a result of the deadlock condition.
The system in question is running Windows 2000 with Sophos 9.5 installed on it.
What might cause this and how can I solve it?
