SYMPTOMS
When a Web site is mapped to Site Server Membership Authentication, and a Web client sends a long URL to that Web site, Inetinfo.exe will fail due to stack overflow.



CAUSE
This problem is caused by Authfltr.dll. A stack overflow occurs as the result of an incorrect call to allocate resources. Alloca does not return a NULL pointer if there is not enough memory in the stack; it raises a Stack Overflow Exception, which must be handled.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Site Server 3.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
This problem was first corrected in Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 3.
