Directory Services for NetWare (DSMN) Fails Intermittently with an Application Error in Swsvc.exe (0xc0000005 - AV)

Directory Services for NetWare (DSMN) fails intermittently, generating the following Dr. Watson error:
The following message is also written to the System Event Log:

The DSMN service will fail periodically when attempting to rename an account (user, or local or a global group). For example, it fails when the pszOldAcctName is set to a null value and Windows NT attempts to dereference this Null pointer in the _wcsicmp() routine. There are several conditions in the SwpRenameAccount() routine where the pszOldAcctName string can be set to a Null value; however, Windows NT never tests this string before making a call to _wcsicmp() routine.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. For information on obtaining the latest service pack, please go to:
