Yet another store.exe at 100% CPU - Microsoft Exchange

Windows update, fully.
Restart.

How much RAM?

Do you have multiple stores?
Try mounting them individually to see if there is one of them causing the
100% CPU.
If you don't have multiple stores try creating a new one. Dismount the old
store and then mount the new one. What happens then? (I am assuming you EE
of course)
You tried running some perfmon against it to see if there is anything out of
the ordinary?
Do you have the possibility of taking an offline copy of this DB to another
server to see if the behaviour is the same there?
Are you backups going through ok?
