----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.21
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
BUG# NT: 10007 (4.2)
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When a SQL Server client application for Windows NT uses the IPX/SPX client
side Network Library (Net-Library) DBMSSPXN.DLL to connect to SQL Server,
each time a connection is opened and closed, a certain amount of memory is
allocated, but never freed. Similarly, a certain amount of virtual address
space is allocated but never released.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
In general, your application should not be affected by this memory leak
problem because typically applications do not repeatedly open and close
connections in one session.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
version 4.21. This problem was corrected in version 4.21a. For more
information, please contact your primary support provider.
