SYMPTOMS
========

You may receive the following STOP error message in Netbt.sys when a computer
tries to connect to a multihomed host and the connection terminates
prematurely:

  STOP 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0xFD7A4A44, 0x00000000, 0x42000878)

The second value may vary depending on where Netbt.sys was loaded. The forth
value may also vary.

CAUSE
=====

There was a race condition in Netbt.sys where a thread is preempted and memory
that it was accessing is released before the thread resumes execution. This
causes the thread to access the memory that was released.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information,
please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
