SYMPTOMS

Under certain circumstances when you are running an application that uses the data link control (DLC) protocol for network communications, your computer may stop responding (hang) and the following error message may be displayed on a blue screen:

STOP(0x000000d1,0x00000008,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xf3d30e56)

NOTE: The fourth parameter of the stop code may differ.

CAUSE

When a DLC buffer pool structure is initialized, the number of elements in the array of buffer headers in the pool is being improperly initialized to one too few. As a result, a failure can occur when the largest index element is accessed.
