SYMPTOMS
========

When running Smsls.bat for a LANMAN client by using a logon script, you may see
the following errors before the client restarts:

  Run-time error R6000 stack overflow

  -and-

  Run-time error R6001 null pointer assignment

If you set the client to run in verbose mode, by configuring the environment
variable 'set smsls=1', and then run Runsms.bat, you will see the client stop
responding at:

  'c:\ms\sms\bin\ipconfig.exe > c:\ms\sms\temp\ipconfig.sms". Ipconfig.sms
  contains "error: this program must be run from within Windows'

STATUS
