SYMPTOMS
When an application using the ODBC API and running under the Visual C++ 5.0 debugger attempts to connect to an Oracle Server the following exception may be generated:

Unhandled Exception in  ntdll.dll 0xC0000008



CAUSE
This exception is caused by a bug in the Oracle Trace Collection Services DLL (Otrace73.dll) installed by version 7.3.3.0 of the Oracle Client software.



RESOLUTION
Obtain a patch from the Oracle Corporation to upgrade the Oracle Client Software to 7.3.3.0.3 or later.

If the patch is not available, use the Oracle Installer to uninstall the Oracle Trace Collection Services from the client. This solution should be considered a temporary workaround until the patch can be applied.



MORE INFORMATION
The exception is generated during a call to one of the following ODBC APIs:

SQLDriverConnect
