DHCP Server Leaks Registry Quota on Alpha Version of Windows NTArticle ID: 184744 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q184744 SYMPTOMS
A DHCP server running on an Alpha server causes Registry Quota to be leaked
over time. This may result in degraded system performance or the following
STOP error message:
Stop 0xc000021a e17c7fc8 00000000 00000000
CAUSE
This issue only occurs on Alpha versions of Windows NT 4.0 with DHCP server
installed. The problem is caused by allocating more memory than is
deallocate when saving registry keys. DHCP server periodically leaks
Registry Quota during normal operation, approximately .065 KB every 10
minutes using PerfMon statistics. This problem is amplified by repeatedly
starting and stopping the DHCP service. The service was found to have 2
leaks, each leaking 2 KB every time the service was started and stopped.
