APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT 3.5
This article was previously published under Q131159
SYMPTOMS
A memory leak occurs when you open a socket with address family
AF_APPLETALK, type SOCK_DGRAM, and protocol ATPROTO_BASE + x (where x is a
user-defined number except the ones that are reserved - please refer to the
SDK header file ATALKWSH.H); then once a server is located to send data to,
you send data to it.
Observing with PerfMon, you can see that non-paged memory use keeps on
increasing. It does not decrease even after the application is stopped. If
the application is allowed to continue for a long time, the results are
unpredictable and it is neccessary to restart the computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Windows NT
version 3.51.
