SYMPTOMS
When the SNARAS traces are enabled, the trace files %WinntRoot%\System32\Snaras.trc and %WinntRoot%\System32\Rassna.trc will continue to increase in size if you do not disable tracing. Eventually, the files will consume all disk space remaining on the boot partition.



CAUSE
The trace versions of Snaras.dll and Rassna.dll on the SNA Server 4.0 compact disc do not use the same tracing mechanism as the other SNA Server traces. Therefore, there is no limit to how large the files can grow.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server 4.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

215838 How to Obtain the Latest SNA Server Version 4.0 Service Pack



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2, and 4.0 SP3.

This problem was first corrected in SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 4.
