CAUSE
=====

The problem is in the HrRetryLogon code. The thread attempts to connect to a
specific folder based on a context ID that is received from a global variable.
When the thread goes through a re-logon, it gets a new index from the global
variable, not the old variable (the one it should use).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the
