Win95 LUA/RUI Application Hangs with Named Pipes (138481)

SYMPTOMS

When running an LUA/RUI application on Windows 95 using the Windows 95 SNA Client, the application may hang.

For instance, if your program contains only the following code:

   main()

   {
      int rc;

      sync_event = CreateEvent(0,0,0,0);
      lua_attach();
      lua_init();
      rc=pWinRUICleanup();
      printf( "RUI CLEANUP() %d\n", rc );
      return(0);
   }
				

The application never processes the return(0) statement to exit the program until you either kill the application thru the Windows 95 task list or stop the link service in SNA Server Admin. The printf statement executes. This only occurs when running Named Pipes for the client interface. If you are using TCP/IP or SPX sockets the program exits correctly. This error does not occur on Microsoft Windows NT.
