SYMPTOMS
Finding a binding handle in an RPC program is accomplished through the RpcNsBindingLookup or RpcNsBindingImport function sets. If you use these function sets in a mixed Windows NT version 3.51 and 4.0 domain, you may observe duplicate or missing binding handles being returned by the call.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the locator cache is not flushing dormant cache entries.
