SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to get a directory list from a shared folder, the computer may stop responding (hang) after you issue the "dir" command.

CAUSE

If GetDirectoryInformation is called with a file index larger than the actual number of files in the directory, the FindNthFile() function goes into an infinite loop.

RESOLUTION

The FindNthFile() function has been modified to prevent the infinite loop.

The following modules have been updated:

<Snaroot>\System\Sfgw.exe
