Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9103023

SYMPTOMS

When debugging an application with CodeView for Windows (CVW), part

of a debugging message from the application appears on the debugging

monitor and execution halts, requiring a warm boot.

CAUSE

The debugging message parameter to the OutputDebugString function

is too long (larger than 270 characters).

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version

3.0. To avoid this problem, shorten the text of the message or

display it using a number of calls to OutputDebugString.

This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
