SYMPTOMS
An access violation may occur when the Rasman.dll file is run on Microsoft Windows 2000. Rasman.dll is used by Remote Access Services Manager.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if a device on the computer does not have a send buffer configured, but an attempt is made to tear down a send buffer when the device successfully finishes a security negotiation. The access violation occurs because there is not a send buffer and memory cannot be freed.
