Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5

Situation

There is a condition that exists where running any memory-monitoring utility on the server could cause an abend (i.e. SEG, NRM, iManager). The abends can differ somewhat, but the stack always shows us going through the call PORTAL.NLM|SHealthMonitorProcess.  Below is an example stackwalk:

Resolution

This abend is resolved in SERVER.EXE dated April 11 or later. This can be found in patch NW65OS5a.exe.
