SYMPTOMS

When you run a Win32 APPC application over SNA Server 4.0 on a DEC Alpha system, the APPC application may stop on an [MC_]DEALLOCATE call or fail unexpectedly.

CAUSE

The Alpha version of the SNA Server service (Snaservr.exe) included with SNA Server 4.0 was built using a compiler optimization that introduced a problem with an internal function, causing the problem to occur. This problem does not occur on Intel-based servers.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
