SYMPTOMS
========

When an application uses the clipping functions to print a complex graphics
image on a high resolution output device, the printed output is incomplete;
portions of the image are missing.

CAUSE
=====

The clipping region is stored in the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) local heap.
It is possible for the local heap to run out of memory.

RESOLUTION
==========

Some of the clipping must be done by the application to reduce the amount of GDI
local heap used.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
