SYMPTOMS
When you run a 32-bit Windows Sockets program that opens and closes
multiple threads in Windows 95, memory is gradually consumed.
Observable symptoms of this "memory leak" may include a swap file growing
very large while the program is running, page faults as Windows 95 tries
to keep up with the growing swap file, and an eventual system halt when
all memory is consumed.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
