SYMPTOMS
Clock.exe may cause the computer to stop responding (hang) and then consume 90 percent of the CPU time when set to Digital Display under specific circumstances.



CAUSE
The array for the New Title was too small to hold the contents of the Short Date Format of dddd/MMMM DD/yyyy.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use a different Short Date style that is not as long.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT 4.0.
