SYMPTOMS
SNMPTRAP.EXE generates and exception and quits when it tries to send information to client applications that are registered to receive but have since exited.



CAUSE
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) uses the executable file SNMPTRAP.EXE to detect traps and alert client applications of them.

SNMPTRAP.EXE creates named pipes through which it sends trap information to client applications that want to receive it. If a requesting application ends, however, and the pipe is broken, SNMPTRAP quits when it tries and fails to send information over that pipe.



RESOLUTION
A correction was made to MGMTAPI.DLL to handle this condition and eliminates the symptom from SNMPTRAP.EXE.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
