SYMPTOMS

When you run a 16-bit program that calls the NetUserAdd() application programming interface (API), a General Protection (GP) fault occurs.
This symptom occurs sporadically.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the NETAPI.DLL file where the segment passed in the call is not used.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the LocalAlloc() API to allocate the buffers used to pass the server name, user name, and password.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
