- I have the same problem when using SPX from a MDVM w/ VIPX. The way I hear
- it, it's that there's a break point (INT 3) that was left in the SPX portion
- of the Netware Requester code. Because the kernel isn't expecting a
- breakpoint (like, there's no kernel debugger to to intercept the INT 3), you
- get the default action, which is a TRAP 3.
