- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS
========

Workstation INS (WINST) files become corrupt and contain available commands from
previously canceled job requests. The only indicator of abnormal behavior within
the system is in the despooler log file. Specifically, when CTool::Decompress()
attempts to open the INS file to decompress it, a WIN32 error 32 (sharing
violation) results.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
