Unhandled token type error from MS JDBC Driver

Our application code (various functions) sporadically gets the error listed
below:

[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unhandled token type: Unknown
token: 0x00

The 0x00 value varies, but is most commonly 0x00. Normally, the application
can go retry the same function and run successfully. We are using SP1 of the
MS JDBC Driver.

What does this error message mean? Is there anything in the application code
that could cause this error message? Has anyone else seen this message?

I've looked at the fixes for SP2 and SP2 of the MS JDBC Driver. None of them
seem to specifically address this error. Is it possible that installing SP3
would fix the problem? Has anyone had problems with SP3 or is it stable
enough to move to?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer,
-Chris

Hi. It means that the driver doesn't know all the things the DBMS might say
to it. It is a bug in the driver, and not anything you can predict or be
responsible for in user code. If you had an easy reproducer it would be easy
for MS to get this fixed. If you can post the whole stacktrace of the exception
it might help them.
