Summary:
The VPROD.386 device driver displays the message "Profiler VM
terminated abnormally" whenever the virtual machine (VM) being
profiled is terminated (crashed) while profiling is still under way.
Some circumstances under which virtual machines are terminated are:
when a bad instruction is executed, when an attempt is made to program
virtualized hardware in a manner incompatible with the virtualizing
virtual device (VxD), or when the user selects "Terminate" in the
Settings dialog box. In any of these situations, the VPROD device
driver cannot flush its queued profile data and clean up after itself.
The message is displayed when VPROD can no longer simulate DOS calls
into the terminated VM. The message warns that it is highly likely
that profiling data has been lost.
For more information on the Profiler, see chapter 13 of the "Microsoft
Software Development Kit Tools" manual.
