Microsoft
Kernel32 Update for Windows 95
is an update which fixes a memory leak that occurs if you run any Internet software that
opens and closes Windows API Sockets. Without this update, running a Windows Sockets
application over a long period of time, especially one which opens and closes a large
number of sockets, will result in a significant resource drain. This can cause the Windows
swapfile to grow very large, overall deterioration of performance, and over time, possible
system instability. This update allows users to better run such applications for long
periods of time without loss of system performance and stability, and without requiring
users to reboot their computers periodically to free system resources.
