SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows 2000 based-computer, a memory leak may occur when a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management program connects to a remote agent computer by using the SNMPMgrRequest function. This problem only occurs when an SNMP program connects to a remote agent computer that does not run the SNMP service.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Wsnmp32.dll component causes a memory leak.
