PRB: Crash Double-Clicking File in Open or Save Common Dialog (87536)

SYMPTOMS

In an application developed for the Microsoft Windows environment with the Open or Save common dialog box, when the user double-clicks a filename in the dialog box, the application crashes. However, when the user selects a filename and chooses the OK button, the operation succeeds.

CAUSE

Because the amount of space reserved for the application's stack is insufficient, the application overwrites part of its data segment when calling GetOpenFileName() or GetSaveFileName().

RESOLUTION

Modify the application's module definition (.DEF) file to specify at least 8192 bytes for the stack.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
