 Last reviewed: April 14, 1997
Article ID: Q166223
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The SNA Server 3.0 SnaBase service may fail unexpectedly with an access violation. The failure may occur in a random location, and may not cause a Drwtsn32.log entry to be created.

When this failure occurs, current users who are connected through SNA Server can continue to work, but new users are unable to establish a new session until SNA Server is restarted.

CAUSE

The SnaBase service was causing corruption of its local process memory heap, leading to an access violation when the corrupted heap memory is accessed (via RtlAllocateHeap) or deallocated (via RtlDestroyHeap).
