SYMPTOMS

In Visual SourceSafe version 4.0, this problem will only occur if you are running the exe files from an NT server over the network. It will not occur if you run the EXE locally.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
