SYMPTOMS

When you run process-monitoring tools such as PSTAT, PMON, TLIST, QSLICE, KILL, and PVIEW against a Windows NT computer that contains a large amount of System Process Information, the following message appears:
Error C0000004

CAUSE

These utilities currently pass the system a buffer that is too small to contain all the process and thread information that might be present in an extremely large server configuration.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1 and 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
