SYMPTOMS
========

If you try to import a .csv file that is exactly 4,096 bytes in size (or a
multiple of 4,096 bytes), an application exception may occur. When this occurs,
an entry that is similar to the following entry may be recorded in the
Drwtsn32.log file:

  Application exception occurred:
  App: exe\dfsadmin.dbg (pid=101)
  When: 12/29/2000 @ 15:7:41.106
  Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)
