Article ID: Q164398
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Under high stress, a computer running Windows NT Server may get a Blue Screen with a STOP 0x0000001e KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED message.

CAUSE

If a TDI transport provider indicates an event after the connection is aborted, AFD accesses a stale connection structure.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned below. With the hotfix, AFD was changed to prevent dereferencing the connection structure twice.
