Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 and the Internet Server API (ISAPI) Extensions module on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You create an ISAPI extension that calls the WriteClient function 65,535 or more times.

  • You enable the ISAPI extension to run on the computer.

  • A client request accesses a path that calls the ISAPI extension.

In this scenario, the WriteClient function call fails. Therefore, the client request is not processed correctly.

Cause

This problem occurs because an ERROR_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW error occurs when the WriteClient function is called 65,535 or more times.
