PRB: RPC Name Space Functions Are Not Thread Safe (169439)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q169439 SYMPTOMS
The RPC Name Service functions are not thread safe. If an application uses
these functions in a multithreaded environment, you may see indeterminate
results.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, simply synchronize calls to the Rpc Name Service
functions by either using a Critical Section or a Mutex.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
