SYMPTOMS
When a network driver interface specification (NDIS) driver for a non-Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) bus network adapter is unloaded, an exception may occur. The exception only occurs if the NDIS miniport registers interrupts.



CAUSE
A previous update implements a new memory heap in NDIS and then calls a new allocator function. However, this previous update does not use the matching de-allocator. Therefore, a free is requested for the wrong memory pool.
