Under CodeView versions 3.00 and 3.10, the Label/Function search
command is described in the online help as performing a search of the
current source window for an assembly-language label or function name.
If the label is found, the debugger should switch from source to
assembly mode to display a label in a library routine or assembly
language module.

In reality, this command fails with a message "Error - Unknown
Symbol". The debugger does not switch into assembly mode. This problem
can be reproduced by selecting Search from the CodeView menu, then
selecting Label/Function and typing in "__chkstk" (without the
quotation marks).

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with CodeView Versions
3.00 and 3.10. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
