Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED: All
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Crash in appn.sys
    
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    The root cause is triggered by certain start up sequences which
    are all lead to CS/Win sending an ACTLU RSP with a TCP/IP
    control vector (type 0x64). In some case the code (inside
    appn.sys) corrupts the SNAPS messages which can actually corrupt
    any part of the SNAPS dynamic memory  (buffers and control
    blocks). The crash occurs at a later point in time (probably
    within a few seconds) when the corrupted memory is accessed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The source of the corruption has been identified and corrected.
    

Temporary fix

  • appn.sys
