SUMMARY
=======

This article describes the page heap enhancements available in Windows NT 4.0
Service Pack 6.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Page heap enhancements available in Microsoft Windows 2000 have been added to
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 to enable advanced debugging for potential heap
corruption in applications that use large amounts of page heap, such as
Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, and Microsoft Internet Information Server
(IIS).

For example, with these enhancements, the debugger is able to initiate stack
backtracing and restrict the contents of the page heap.

These page heap enhancements were added for internal use, mainly to debug
computers supporting the Microsoft.com PRMD (Private Management Domain).
