Windows Application Verifier crashes when you try to verify a program in Windows XP (842901)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
  • Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003
  • Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you use Windows Application Verifier to verify a custom-built program, it may stop responding or crash.

If you create a dump file, the file includes an entry for an access violation in OpenGL32!InitializeThread+043.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when OpenGL creates a table entry in a thread local storage (TLS) slot in the overflow area. However, Windows Application Verifier assumes that all TLS slots that are used by OpenGL are in the primary area, not in the overflow area. This causes Windows Application Verifier to generate an access violation.
