The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SYMPTOMS
In an application developed for the Microsoft Windows environment with the Open or Save common dialog box, when the user double-clicks a filename in the dialog box, the application crashes. However, when the user selects a filename and chooses the OK button, the operation succeeds.

CAUSE
Because the amount of space reserved for the application's stack is insufficient, the application overwrites part of its data segment when calling GetOpenFileName or GetSaveFileName().

RESOLUTION
Modify the application's module definition (.DEF) file to specify at least 8192 bytes for the stack.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
