SYMPTOMS
In an application that uses the File Open or Save As dialog box from the Common Dialogs dynamic-link library (DLL), when the user opens a combo box with the mouse, holds down the left mouse button, and then presses the ESC key to close the dialog box, a GP-fault occurs.

RESOLUTION
You can ignore the faults that result from calling GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName without incident. There are as many as eight warnings before control is returned to the application.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Common Dialogs DLL version 3.1.
