Re: Windows XP mmc.exe Crash

["Ali Saifullah Khan" <ali_saifullah () hotmail com>]

On Win2k SP3 the result, when logged in as both administrator or as a normal 
user, on the local domain or machine-locally, was the expected windows 
message for disallowed resource access, or for failure to find the remote 
host, in the case of administrator access.

The string lengths used were 100, 150, and 200 characters, in succession. 
None of these resulted in a crash.
