OneNote memory leak + high CPU usage with KB895953 installed [WiredBox.Net

> I'm having issues with OneNote on my machine. I'm using a Fujitsu
> Lifebook T4010D 1.6GHz 2GB RAM on Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 SP2.
> OneNote (and all of Office) are all SP2 with most recent updates from
> Microsoft. I have the most recent wacom drivers installed from Wacom
> directly as well as all high priority updates from Microsoft Update.
> The OneNote section in question is in a folder under the root notebook,
> and has only one other page in it-- the page has a good quantity of ink
> pictures (no handwriting-as-text), and the section is about 1.3MB. I
> use the suspend feature regularly, and hibernate rarely (and it is
> enabled; the hotfix mentioned -somewhere- about >1GB RAM+Hibernation is
> not installed), but I rebooted fresh before each go. Symantec CAV is
> installed, but disabled at the times in question ineffectively. Google
> Desktop is also installed, but wasn't indexing at the time heavily.
>
> Microsoft Update automatically installed KB895953's hotfix the last
> time I reimaged this system, so it's been on there longer than I've had
> OneNote. When I've been working on this page tonight, I noticed after
> several pages that I was having serious performance issues. The fan was
> running all the time, the system was getting warm, and all indicators
> said my CPU was running hard. In trying to run Task Manager
> (ctrl+shift+esc), it took minutes to even load while OneNote happily
> continued collecting my ink for me all the while. When TM finally
> popped up, OneNote was at or near 100% of the CPU, and its memory usage
> was 350+MB and growing. I let it sit for a few minutes, and it finally
> calmed down to the point where it was idling away; the memory remained
> high, though.
>
> I tried to reinstall KB895953, and it let me silently, ignoring the
> fact it had already been updated by MS Update in the past. Updated my
> BIOS and IDE/DMA chipset software to make sure I wasn't having issues
> with those. Did as much as I could think of to clean up the performance
> of the machine, and when I went back to work on the section... same
> problem.

> After scouring for information on this, I came across two references to
> this problem on this group ("Problem w/ cpu going to 100 and memory
> leaks " 9/7/2005, "Onenote becomes unresponsive after installing
> Q895953 hotfix", 9/28/05) which led me to uninstall 895953. Instantly,
> OneNote started behaving itself with the same section, consuming a
> modest 20% of my CPU while scribbling madly and highlighting over and
> over in frantic dashes. Its memory usage is reporting that it peaked at
> 23MB now.

> This seems like a significant problem, and it isn't limited to myself
> or my computer model.
