Hi,

I have a fairly complex application running which has numerous connections on various threads accessing my sql 2005 database.

Every now and then I find that one of my connections is being blocked by process with a pid of -2.

I assume this is some system process.

The only way I can get my application going again is to restart the sql server.

Can someone tell me what process -2 is?

cheers,
Robert
