A stop 0x0000000A or stop 0x000000050 is received in Nwlnkipx.sys when source
routing information exceeds 18 bytes in length. Source routing information
exceeding 18 bytes in length causes stack corruption and, therefore, the trap.

problem was first corrected in Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 5.
