The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0SP1, 3.0SP2, 3.0SP3, 3.0SP4, 4.0, 4.0SP1, 4.0SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

If client internal tracing is enabled using the SNA Server trace facility, a
CPI-C application may stop responding (hang). This only happens if asynchronous
verb completion is used in the application.

CAUSE
=====

A CPI-C verb is traced after the asynchronous completion of the verb is
signaled. In this situation, the application has legitimately freed the data
buffer, which is still traced.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server version
4.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 3.0 SP4, 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2. This problem was
