SYMPTOMS
When you run a 16-bit CPIC application against the SNA Server WinCPIC thunking DLL (wincpic.dll from \system\thunk\) on a computer running Windows NT Server, the following error message may appear:

has caused a general protection fault in module krnl386.exe at 1:9044

The offset of the failure may vary.



CAUSE
The SNA Server WINCPIC thunking DLL is not properly freeing memory, which eventually causes the application's 32-KB local heap to be exhausted, leading to the failure.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 and 3.0 U.S. Service Packs.
