Problems with svchost.exe

[Princey]

Hey

I'm running Windows XP Home with the SP3 beta and one of my svchosts.exe grows is size. Over the space of about an hour it can be as big as 1.5GB and grinds my system to a halt. I've ran anti spyware and anti virus software and it brings nothing up. I'm thinking it might be related to SP3, has anybody else had this with SP3?

Found out the cause. It was the DHCP Client service that eats all the memory when using SP3 RC1. Its a known problem so I'll be rolling back to SP2 for now.

OK well there have been reports of it on the technet forums.
