SYMPTOMS
========
Applications that repeatedly use the Win 32 call EnumServicesStatus() may result
in a memory leak in Services.exe.
CAUSE
=====
Under certain situations a call to EnumServicesStatus() would result in
Services.exe setting a heap block pointer to NULL without freeing the block
first; the heap pointer that is not freed is the memory leak.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This
problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For
