SYMPTOMS
========
If a sockets program uses a socket handle with the Writefile() application
programming interface (API) for overlapped input/output (I/O), a STOP message
appears in Windows NT 3.51 after about 20 to 40 megabytes (MB) of data are
transferred.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs due to AFD.SYS using non-paged memory and not releasing the
memory.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use the SETSOCKOPT function to set the send buffer
size (SO_SNDBUF option) to zero.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
