Hi All!

It appears that one of my production servers (SQL2k SP3a) has stopped issuing checkpoints on tempdb database.
In other words, normally I expect that whenever tempdb log fills up to about 70% mark, a checkpoint happens, and tempdb log gets truncated. However, currently this isn't happening on this specific server. Here, the log keeps filling up until I issue CHECKPOINT command manually. When I do run it manually -- the log gets truncated as expected.

Any thoughts on what could possibly cause this?

Naturally, my tempdb is in SIMPLE recovery mode.
There are no long-standing open transactions in tempdb.
