Merge agent fails due to deadlock

Hi:
I met a problem this morning. the merge replication agen stopped, the
error message shows:
The process could not enumerate changes at the 'Publisher'.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error number: -2147200999)
-----
Transaction (Process ID 79) was deadlocked on lock resources with
another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the
transaction.
(Source: XXXXXX (Data source); Error number: 1205)
The process was successfully stopped.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error number: -2147200999)
I never met this issue before, so please help
1) What may cause this issue?
2) How I could identify which process cause the deadlock issue?
3) Is there any way to log more information to identify what resource
is deadlock, and by who.
Thanks
Yong
Yong,
have a look at enabling traceflags 1204, 1205, 3605 to get more info. Don't
forget to turn off afterwards. Alternatively if you have sql server 2005,
the profiler shows the deadlock tree graphically.

Memory usage

Why the memory usage in task manager shows significant difference before and
after the restart of SQL Server service ? Is that due to the memory leak ?
I am running SQL Server 2000 sp3a
Thanks very much,

Natasa,
If SQL Server's memory is set to be dynamic (default), it will grow to the
min boundary then up-to the max boundary (if needed) then fluctuate in
between.

amount for SQLServr.exe - around 100mb. In this scenario Perfmon/SQL Server
Memory Manager/Total Server Memory is the correct thing to look at

use WSRM windows system resource manager
for win2k3
