SYMPTOMS
When SNA Server receives a BIND that contains various routing vectors and security subfields, you may receive an Access Violation. Whether this behavior occurs depends on the length of the BIND request.
CAUSE
When SNA Server prepares the BIND response and tries to add the enciphered data to the BIND, the buffer is overwritten, which causes an Access Violation.
