BUG: Application Stops When Linking with RMDBLIB.LIB

 Last reviewed: May 2, 1997
Article ID: Q151606

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you link with the SQL Server 6.0 version of RMDBLIB.LIB and run the application on an MS-DOS operating system using a Novell network, the application can stop or cause the computer to restart. Other protocols do not exhibit the same behavior and the 4.21a RMDBLIB.LIB does not exhibit the same behavior on the Novell network.

WORKAROUND

  1. Link the application with the SQL Server 4.21a version of RMDBLIB.LIB.

  2. Use a different network to connect to the SQL Server.

MORE INFORMATION

The stop or restart occurs on the DBLIBRARY call to dblogin();

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server for WINDOWS 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
