Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9107007

SYMPTOMS

When an application calls the SetHandleCount function to increase

the number of available file handles, the application experiences

an unrecoverable application error (UAE) or the machine hangs. This

fault generally occurs when the wNumber parameter is set to 80 or

more.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0

where there is no way to work around this problem. Do not try to

use Interrupt 21h function 67h (set handle count) because it does

not work correctly in Windows 3.0.

This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
