SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to create or rename a folder located deep in a Windows NT shared
directory structure, you may receive the following error message:

  Explorer
  This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

  If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

If you click Close, Windows Explorer quits.

If you click Details, the following information appears:

  EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module <module name> at
  <memory location address>.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs because the path length setting in the Svrapi.dll file is
set to 128 bytes. This length is too short.

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
