Summary:
PROBLEM ID: WIN9103002
SYMPTOMS
When the GlobalReAlloc function is used to change the size of a
memory block larger than 1 MB to smaller than 1 MB, an
unrecoverable application error (UAE) occurs either immediately or
when the handle is freed by the GlobalFree function.
CAUSE
In this situation, the GlobalReAlloc function corrupts pointers in
the huge memory object.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows
version 3.0. To avoid this problem, use the GlobalAlloc function to
allocate a new block of memory. If required, copy a portion of the
contents of the original block to the new block. Free the original
block with the GlobalFree function.
This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
