This involves 11.70TC3IE on Windows Server 2008 32 bit. I have discovered that “set debug file to blah” kills IDS or it may be the “trace” statement that actually does it. I think setting the file name does not always kill the service, but writing to the file sure does. The trace messages actually get written before the service dies. Is there a patch for this behavior?
