SYMPTOMS
After you run the Win9x 3270 Client or any other third-party software, when you shut down the application, some dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and executables may be left in memory and may not be unloaded. If you are using System Information (Sysinfo.exe) from Windows 98, you may note that the following files are left in memory when you use the SNA Server Win3270.exe application:
 * Cfgs3270.dll
 * Win3270.exe

These files remain in memory after SnaBase is shut down. If you start up a new client and then shut it down, multiple copies of these files are loaded, causing available memory to eventually be used up. This problem occurs only when you are using named pipes as the network transport. If you use TN3270 or Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for client connectivity, this problem does not occur.



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:
