SYMPTOMS

The access violation shown below may occur unexpectedly in the MNGAGENT process running on an SNA Server computer. This will cause Manager to display the SNA Server as offline, although the server may still be running properly. An <Ntroot>\Drwtsn32.log entry may be created as follows:

   Application exception occurred:
      App: mngagent.DBG (<process id>)
      Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

   function: CShrMemList::CShrMemList
   FAULT ->6098c555 ff4004           inc     dword ptr [eax+0x4]
   ds:0068e922=????????

CAUSE

Under certain timing conditions, a Manage object is deleted while it is still being used by another thread, leading to an access violation.
