SYMPTOMS
========
When you use IBM Personal Communications (version 4.3) with the SNA 4.0 Windows
95/98 client software or with the SNA 4.0 Windows NT client software, a 5250
session stops responding or fails with a page fault after a 3270 session is
closed. For example:
PCSCM caused an invalid page fault in module WAPPC32.DLL at 015f:6340e645
The offset may vary depending on the version of the SNA Windows 95/98 or Windows
NT client software being used.
CAUSE
=====
If an application supports both a 3270/FMI session and an APPC or CPIC
conversation from the same process, and closes the 3270/FMI session by calling
the sbputerm() function, the SNA client incorrectly frees the SNADMOD client
code while the APPC/CPIC application is still active.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server 4.0. For
additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
Q215838 How to Obtain the Latest SNA Server Version 4.0 Service Pack
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, do not close the 3270 session if an APPC
conversation is still active, or close the APPC conversation before the 3270
session is closed.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version
3.0, 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2 and 4.0 SP3.
This problem was first corrected in SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 4.
