CAUSE

The exception handling routine is setting an event that causes another thread to terminate the process. Since the process is terminated, the general exception handling procedure that creates the Dr. Watson log is not called.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
