SYMPTOMS
There is a memory leak in the SaveProfileInfo function. If many users are logging on and logging off, and the system seems to be performing slowly, you may be experiencing this problem. The problem has been reported in Windows 2000 build 2176.

CAUSE
The SaveProfileInfo function calls GetUserGuid and returns a pointer that is named SidString, but it never frees the memory. If there are many hits in this code path, more and more memory is leaked.

RESOLUTION
This problem has been corrected in Windows 2000 build 2178.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 2000 build 2176.
