Q.
After applying Support Pack 4 to a NetWare 5.1 server (NW51SP4), the server runs out of memory and all memory seems to be allocated by NWPA.NLM. What can I do about this?

Dear Losing: The module NWASPI.CDM (version 3.22) causes a memory leak in NWPA.NLM. If you are using Arcserve, you should switch to the CANWPA.CDM module.
If you are using some other third-party backup solution that relies on NWASPI.CDM, you should downgrade the NWASPI.CDM module to 3.21. This is the version that was included in NW51SP2a and NW50SP6. Note that NW51SP3 contains NWASPI.CDM version 3.20, which has other issues, so use version 3.21.
