SYMPTOMS
When you run the IMPORT utility (IMPORT.EXE) with the -ST parameter under OS/2 version 1.3, you receive the following error message:

An OS/2 program caused a protection violation.



RESOLUTION
Because IMPORT.EXE version 3.2.6 is a bound program, it runs under both MS-DOS and OS/2.

To work around this problem, run the IMPORT command from MS-DOS.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.2a.



MORE INFORMATION
The -ST parameter extracts addresses for directory synchronization (Dir- Sync) with a foreign mail system. It can only be used against the Dir-Sync server. This problem occurs when a group has been defined on the Dir-Sync postoffice. By default, the GROUP.GLB file is 4 bytes; however, it increases by 51 bytes when a group is added to the postoffice. If the GROUP.GLB file is 4 bytes in length, the process works properly.
