SYMPTOMS
An APPC application may quit unexpectedly and cause you to lose your existing host sessions. If the default debugger on the system is Dr. Watson (Drwtsn32.exe), a Drwtsn32.log file similar to the following is generated:
Application exception occurred:
App: APPCApp.exe (pid=720)

CAUSE
A problem with the APPC API code means that this access violation (AV) may occur if an internal control block value is greater than 255 when a WinAPPCCancelAsyncRequest verb is issued by the calling application. The calling application has no way of knowing what this internal control block value is, nor does it have any way to control this value.
RESOLUTION
Service pack information
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
When you examine a crash dump file of the AV, together with symbols that match in a debugging tool such as WinDBG, the stack trace is similar to the following:
