the Windows NT application event log.

The stack trace of the failing thread is as follows:

This server was configured with multiple 802.2 connections to the same host
system, and at least one of the connections may have been trying to activate
when the problem occurred. The customer reported that they needed to reboot
their Compaq Proliant dual-processor machine in order to get their IBM 16/4 II
adapter to initialize properly, possibly due to transient media problems on
their Token Ring LAN.

CAUSE
=====

The SNA Server dump file indicated that the SNA Server service tried to free a
session control block which had already been freed.

RESOLUTION
==========

An SNA Server 2.11 hotfix to this problem is available through Microsoft product
support. The problem has also been fixed in SNA Server 3.0.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 and
2.11 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA
Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack,
