SYMPTOMS
========

When you use a computer that is running both the Citrix Metaframe client and the
Netscape Communicator Web browser software to communicate with a computer
running Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the server may stop
responding (hang) and display the following error message on a blue screen:

  STOP1E: UNHANDLED KERNEL EXCEPTION
  (0xC00000005,0xA3053380,0x000000000,0x00000008)

NOTE: The second parameter may vary, but the memory dump always indicates the
address falls in the win32k!GreRealizePalette() address space.
