Spell Check: "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" error

Unanswered Spell Check: "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" error

    Hello,

    I am having inconsistent results using the spell check feature when editing a custom list.  Sometimes, the spell check does not return any spelling errors when there are indeed spelling errors.  This inconsistent behavior can be seen by repeatedly spell checking the item (meaning I don't need to close it and re-open it to see the behavior).

    I found no errors in the SharePoint logs or IIS logs.  I ended up using Fiddler, and looked at what was happening when _vti_bin/SpellCheck.asmx was accessed.  I saw the following (in this example, I misspelled "being" as "bein"):

    When it correctly found the spelling error, the response was:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><SpellCheckResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/publishing/spelling/"><SpellCheckResult><errorCode>Ok</errorCode><detectedLanguage>1033</detectedLanguage><spellingErrors><SpellingErrors><chunkIndex>4</chunkIndex><flaggedWords><FlaggedWord><word>bein</word><type>UnknownWord</type><offset>116</offset></FlaggedWord></flaggedWords></SpellingErrors></spellingErrors><spellingSuggestions><SpellingSuggestions><word>bein</word><sug /></SpellingSuggestions></spellingSuggestions></SpellCheckResult></SpellCheckResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

    When it did not find the spelling error (and displayed "No Spelling Errors found" to the user), I see the following:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---&gt; Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

    Any idea what could be causing this?

    Hi,

    Did this issue occur all the web application or only one web application?

    If the issue only happend in one web application, please try to check the application pool and application pool account for this web application.

    This only happens in one web application (and as mentioned, intermittently).  What should I check about the application pool account?

    Did you ever find a resolution to this issue?  We seem to be experiencing the same problem.

    Thanks - Jason.

    Couple of questions if you don't mind:

    Are you guys using FAST Search for SharePoint?  (We are; I am curious if you are as well)

    Have you tried using the webservice on another web application?  (Our works for the MySites web application)

    Have you seen anything in the ULS logs?  (See below for an Access Denied message in our ULS logs)

    ULS Log entry for one specific request:  (I've stripped out the first part of the entry which showed date & time, etc.
