SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You use the IP-DLC link service to connect to an IBM mainframe in a Microsoft Host Integration Server environment.
You replace the Snaipdlc.dll file by using the Trcipdlc.dll file to capture additional trace data while you troubleshoot an IP-DLC link service-related problem.

In this scenario, the IP-DLC link service may experience an access violation in the snaipdlc!nds_next_fsm_action function, and the mainframe connection is disconnected.
