PSS ID Number: Q115481 Article last modified on 11-23-1994

4.21

WINDOWS

BUG# NT: 10007 (4.2)

= SYMPTOMS =

When a SQL Server client application for Windows NT uses the IPX/SPX client side Network Library (Net-Library) DBMSSPXN.DLL to connect to SQL Server, each time a connection is opened and closed, a certain amount of memory is allocated, but never freed. Similarly, a certain amount of virtual address space is allocated but never released.

= WORKAROUND =

In general, your application should not be affected by this memory leak problem because typically applications do not repeatedly open and close connections in one session.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 4.21. This problem was corrected in version 4.21a. For more information, please contact your primary support provider.
