Active Event Logging Server Becomes Slow, Exhausts Paged Pool (136335)
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 Q136335 SYMPTOMS
Your Windows NT computer that is doing a large amount of event logging
begins to run slowly left on long time. PerfMon shows that SERVICES.EXE has
a large amount of private bytes associated with it and paged pool memory
resources become exhausted. Debugging shows there is a problem with the
SERVICES.EXE process and exhaustion of virtual memory.
CAUSE
OpenEventLog, RegisterEventSource, and DeregisterEventSource functions do
not deallocate memory correctly.
RESOLUTION
EVENTLOG.DLL has been modified to the memory deallocation problems in both
API functions.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in the Windows NT version 3.51. A version 3.5
fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested
and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not
recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product
Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
