SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to get a directory list from a shared folder, the computer may stop responding (hang) after you issue the "dir" command.

CAUSE

If GetDirectoryInformation is called with a file index larger than the actual number of files in the directory, the FindNthFile() function goes into an infinite loop.

RESOLUTION

The FindNthFile() function has been modified to prevent the infinite loop.

The following modules have been updated:

<Snaroot>\System\Sfgw.exe

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
