SYMPTOMS
========

Certain applications running on Windows NT that use bitmap fonts may cause
Windows NT version 4.0 to have a STOP 0x0000001E error. The following parameters
may be returned with the Stop error:

  STOP 0x0000001E(0xc0000005, 0x80131c41, 0x00000000, 0x00000008)

Testing has found that this error may occur with the ATI Ultra 32 and any S3
Video Adapters.

CAUSE
=====

Bytes in the bitmap font that are normally ignored and should have been masked
out, were not and, therefore, caused a miscalculation in the display font
handler.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
