SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Windows NT to access a file with an extremely long file name that
is nested in a long path, the following blue screen STOP error message may
occur:
STOP 0x00000050 (0xff737000 0x00000001 0x00000001 0x00000000)
Note: The first parameter will vary, but the last three should always be the
same.
CAUSE
=====
The Redirector (Rdr.sys) does not check the path name before sending a
Query_Information server message block (SMB).
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
- Reduce the length of the path and/or the length of the filename of the file
being accessed on the server.
- Apply the Windows NT service pack mentioned in this article.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem is corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
