SYMPTOM

On a 4.0x server, you encounter any of the following after loading the NetWare
Management Agent 1.5:

* read from a non-present page errors reported on the server console.
* short term memory allocator errors reported on the server console.
* short term memory allocator errors reported on the server console after you
installed the NMA002.EXE patch and you have the TAPEDAI.NLM loaded.
* some "informational" traps are transmitted by the server, even when the /S1
command line option is specified when loading NWTRAP.NLM.
* multiple SCSI cards running the Compaq Fast SCSI II driver are not
recognized.


SOLUTION

NMA004 applies only to NetWare Management Agent (NMA) 1.5 running on a NetWare
4.0x server.

Do NOT install NMA004 on a Netware 3.x Server!!  If NetWare Management Agent
is running on a 3.x server, use NMA003.EXE instead.
