SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 may experience access violation error messages when a URL is based to any services that do not contain a leading "/". While this is an incorrectly formatted URL and should never be passed, it does cause the Internet Information Server (IIS) Services to stop.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by a bug in the code, which fails when there is no leading "/".

STATUS
