SYMPTOMS
========

During normal system operation, the OS/2 swap file (SWAPPER.DAT) on servers
running MS TCP/IP extensions (NODE services) starts to grow.

NODE.EXE is not releasing some memory dynamically allocated for variables. The
NODE.EXE footprint grows and when NODE.EXE is swapped to disk SWAPPER.DAT grows.

RESOLUTION
==========

Fixed in LM22, CSD00.069.
