Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9103018

SYMPTOMS

Under Windows 3.0, when an application calls the AllocDStoCSAlias

function to alias a selector and that selector is released by the

FreeSelector function, the application experiences an unrecoverable

application error (UAE).

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version

3.0. Do not use the FreeSelector function to release an aliased

selector. Windows will free the selector automatically when the

application terminates.

This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
