Winlogon Memory Leak Caused by SNMP Components (131131)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q131131 SYMPTOMS
When a remote machine connects to a computer running Windows NT 3.5 with
Performance Monitor, the remote system will leak a small amount of paged
pool memory. This shows up as a consumption of paged pool memory by the
Winlogon process on the remote computer.
CAUSE
When the performance registry key is opened, the TCP/IP performance
counters load the INETMIB1.DLL library and call SnmpExtensionInit to
initialize the SNMP counters. This process causes two handles to be created
that are not closed when the library is freed.
RESOLUTION
Install Windows NT 3.51.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
