=====================================================================
Subject : AlphaServer 2000/4000 Family Products, Windows NT 4.0
Affected System: Alpha Server 2000/4000 running Windows NT 4.0
There is a bug in Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 1 and
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 on multiprocessor Alpha systems, e.g.
AlphaServers 2000, 2100, 2100A, 4000 and 4100. This bug causes memory
pool corruption that causes the system to crash, typically with a "System
Service Exception" bug check.
This problem will be resolved in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3. As an
interim solution, customers may upgrade their Windows NT 4.0
multiplrocessor AlphaServers to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2, and apply
the "hot fix" (QFE) available from Microsoft via anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/hotfixes-postSP2/Alpha-fix/

The README.1ST file is appended to the end of this blitz.
AlphaServer 4100 and the HCL
----------------------------
Please note that the availability of the QFE does NOT mean that the
Alphaserver 4100 is on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List. It does
mean that the QFE will now allow the 4100 to run the Hardware
Compatibility Tests. It is estimated to take two more weeks before the
4100 is listed on the HCL.
