SYMPTOMS
========

You can add a device entry to the 386Enh section of the System.ini file with the
Add Device to System.ini script item. When you run a script on Windows 95 with
the Add Device to System.ini command in it, you receive the following error
message:

  This program has performed and illegal operation and will be shutdown

The error details show SMSISTUB caused a general protection fault (GP fault) in
module ~GLC0003.TMP at 0002:0000dd20.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Systems Management Server
