ArcGIS (Desktop, Engine, Server) 10.0 Geocoding Memory Leak and Matching Quality Patch

This patch addresses issues for memory leaks caused by table matching and problems with matching intersections and international addresses.

ESRI® announces the ArcGIS (Desktop, Engine, Server) 10.0 Geocoding Memory Leak and Matching Quality Patch. This patch addresses issues for memory leaks caused by table matching and problems with matching intersections and international addresses. The patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

Issues Addressed with this Patch

NIM058754 – Memory used by the locator is not released after batch geocoding of some tables.

Description: After geocoding a certain table of addresses, the memory used by the locator may not be released in the system. Subsequent use of the locator for additional geocoding tasks may increase the memory loss and causes the application to fail. This problem only occurs in ArcGIS Desktop.
NIM058762 - Results of intersection geocoding are missing spatial reference and cannot be projected correctly.

Description: Using a locator containing a projected coordinate system, the geocoded location of an intersection address may not be displayed correctly on the map due to missing spatial reference in the found location. This problem may occur in ArcGIS Desktop, Engine, or Server.

NIM058764 - International addresses that have "beta" umlaut and ss for ß in the names cannot be found.

Description: German addresses often contain characters with umlaut or ss for ß in the names, for example, Äussere Münchener Straße and Äußere Münchener Straße. The geocoding engine should consider ss and ß the correct character substitution. Geocoding addresses like this may not work in ArcGIS 10, but is resolved with the patch. This problem may occur in ArcGIS Desktop, Engine, or Server.
