SYMPTOMS

On a Windows NT 4.0-based computer using the Client Services for NetWare (CSNW), the NET VIEW command may seem to stop responding (hang). It then terminates with an "Insufficient virtual memory to complete this task" error message.

CAUSE

The Nwwks.dll dynamic-link library has a memory leak that occurs when you view NetWare or Windows NT servers running the File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) service with more than 32 volumes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the U.S. Service Pack 2 for Windows NT 4.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
