A client of mine recently had their SQL Server hang up and crash. The error log displayed a dump and the error "Non-yielding IOCP Listener". After a bit of research I have discovered that this error is in result of a bug in SQL Server 2005.
Microsoft has released cumulative hotfix patches to resolve this issue but they did not include them in automatic updates, citing that if you are not experiencing this specific problem, then the updates are not necessary.

Chris,
Thanks for your note about this issue. I had a mysterious SQL crash and found the Cumulative Patch 4 from your blog post.
Many thanks for documenting it.
