SUMMARY
=======

Trap 0x50 and 0xA occur as network connections are being torn down. The traps
appear to be timing-related issues. The stackback trace should have routines
contained in Afd.sys. These traps occurred under very high-stress conditions.


MORE INFORMATION
================

The problem occurs on Compaq multiprocessor computers and appears to be a
synchronization issue processing through AFD. In one instance, a trap occurred
while processing the same IO Request Packet (IRP) a second time. The IRP data
was no longer valid and the associated memory had been freed. In a second
instance, the failure occurred while a TCP receive indication on an aborted
connection was being handled.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This
problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For
information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the
