Q.
Since applying NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 4 (NW51SP4) or NetWare 6 Support Pack 1 (NW6SP1), my server is running low on memory and I receive Short Term Alloc Memory errors on the console. My servers also abend, run slow, or they have high utilization after being up for a period of time. Any reasons as to why this is happening?

Dear Losing: The 3.22 version of NWASPI.CDM in these Support Packs has a severe memory leak. Revert to your previous version; if you are running ArcServe, you can use the CANWPA.CDM file instead. If you are running Backup Exec, be sure to use the -b switch to the BE load line to avoid using the NWASPI.CDM file. Please see TID #10069351 (entitled "Memory Leak in NWPA.NLM After Applying NW51SP4.EXE") for more details on this subject.
