  • Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.11

SYMPTOMS

In very rare conditions, the SNA Server 802.2 link service (supporting an SNA connection over Token Ring, Ethernet, or FDDI) may encounter an access violation (AV) leading to the following errors:

  • Users lose their sessions over any SNA Server connection using this
link 
   service.
  • The following Windows NT application event log error occurs: 

          Event ID: 624
      Source: SNADLC1
      Creating dump file C:\SNA\traces\snadump.log for SNALINK.EXE
  • A Drwtsn32.log entry is created that indicates an application exception error occurred in Snalink.dbg: 

          Application exception occurred:

                App: snalink.DBG (pid=<process id>)
            Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

    CAUSE
    
 

    
An access violation may occur if the Snadlc.dll link service formats data
to pass to the SNA Server service while Dlc.sys passes up empty buffers
with the total data length of a certain size. This is a rare condition
that
has only been observed at one customer site.

    

    RESOLUTION
    
 

    
A fix is available to correct this problem.

    

    STATUS
    
 

    
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0,
2.1, and 2.11.

     A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully

    regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this
specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific
problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that
contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more
information.
