SYMPTOMS
========

SNA applications written to use the CMETPN (Extract_TP_Name) function may get an
access violation when API tracing has been enabled.

The Drwtsn32.log file that is generated will contain information similar to the
following:

  Application exception occurred:

  App: exe/Application.exe (pid=<process id number>) When: <date> @
  <time> Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

  (some details omitted for clarity)

CAUSE
=====

The CMETPN function was passing the Conversation ID in the wrong parameter,
causing a null pointer to be de-referenced.
