Yes, as Andrea said, this is a known issue.
It appears that the problem appears with databases from SQL 2000, and it's
old bug that causes problems.
Look at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx?feedbackId=FDBK49455
for a way to fix the database while its on SQL 2000.
If the database is on SQL 2005, it may help to set an explicit growth to
a fixed size.
