SYMPTOMS

SNA applications written to use the CMETPN (Extract_TP_Name) function may get an access violation when API tracing has been enabled.

The Drwtsn32.log file that is generated will contain information similar to the following:

   Application exception occurred:

App: exe/Application.exe (pid=<process id number>) When: <date> @ <time> Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

   (some details omitted for clarity)
