    IIRC correctly, there was a bug that cause this behaviour depending on the INITIAL SIZE and GrOWTH SETTINGS of a database in SQL Server 2005. I believe that SP3 fixed it. What service pack is your 2005 instance sitting at?

    According to the OP, this is a 2012 instance. I wonder if it was re-introduced.
