Blaster Worm Patch incompatibility with SQL 2k

I have heard of a couple of instances when the MS Blaster
patch is applied to a SQL 2k server, the server then has
problems booting back into Windows 2000. I have also
heard that MS PSS is aware of this issue, but information
hasn't come out on it yet.
Does anyone know what the incompatibility is between the
MS Blaster Worm fix and SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2000
server? If so, please let me know.
Thanks,
DaveHI John,
Thanks for the offer. I did see the RAS alert yesterday.
The SQL server / MS Blaster patch incompatibility was
mentioned to a colleague of mine by PSS last night, after
he applied the patch and couldn't get the SQL server to
boot into Windows correctly. It may be something that
hasnt officially been communicated from MS yet maybe.
Thanks,
Dave

A question on your wording. Is the problem that Windows won't boot after
the patch is installed on a Windows system that is used as a SQL Server, or
that SQL Server won't start on a Windows system that has the patch
installed?

This is a production server hosting SQL 2K as a backend for IIS on another
box. The O/S is W2K; both W2K and SQL2K are with most current SP and
patches. Starting about a month ago I lost connection to the box after I
restarted it. All production servers are at a data center so I had to drive
to the data center and did a power-off, power-on. When I arrived I saw a
DOS prompt blinking on the screen. That's it. It seemed that the box was
able to shut down SQL but failed to startup the OS. It happens twice to
this box so we are planning to rebuild this box. We don't want to drive to
the data center in the midnight just to cold boot the server. Can anyone at
MS verify this?
BTW, I have 5 SQL boxes and just one has this problem.
