This article was previously published under Q106435
SYMPTOMS
A Windows LAN Manager client with 4MB physical RAM and a temporary
swapfile of about 12MB, running Windows 3.1 and several Windows
applications from a network drive, may experience lockups, screen
blackouts, and drops into MS-DOS. This generally happens during heavy
use of the system's virtual memory--for example, when a large number
of applications are running simultaneously.
CAUSE
This appears to have been caused by stack corruption in the MS-DOS
enhanced redirector.
RESOLUTION
A fix is available from Microsoft Product Support services as
CSD00.061.
