RtlAllocateHeap in DRWTSN32.LOG with service pack4
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
A few calls has been locked regarding the RtlAllocateHeap function
failing after applying service pack4. This k-base will try and solve
that problem.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
Service pack4 introduces a new heap manager allocation pattern that
is not allowing heap reallocation as in earlier service packs. This
can result in a DrWatson or complete freeze of the machine.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
Run the Regedit/regedt32 and browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MICROSOFT\Windows NT\CurrentversionImage File Execution Options
Highlight this key and add a new key called the failing processname
eg: PROWIN32.EXE or _MPROSRV.EXE
select this new key and add a value;
DisableHeapLookaside (datatype REG_SZ)
With string;
1
Please reboot machine when this has been set.
