To check if there is any memory leak, do the following:

• Run Performance Monitor.
• From the Edit menu, choose Add To Chart.
• In the Object field, select Memory.
• In the Counter field:
  a. Select Pool Nonpaged Bytes and choose Add.
  b. Select Pool Paged Bytes and choose Add.
  
• Choose Done and watch Performance Monitor in Chart view mode.

If the Nonpaged value rises rapidly while the TCP/IP sockets program is running then you may be experiencing this problem.

Example configurations under which this problem may occur:

• Systems Management Server needs to communicate with an SQL server.
• A SQL default client is configured for sockets - not Named Pipes.
• TCP/IP is installed on the server, but SQL Server is not set up to use it. SQL Server is designed to use Named Pipes only.
• Systems Management Server uses the default SQL client configuration for sockets.
• Systems Management Server attempts to access SQL using sockets repeatedly.

This problem can be caused by a TCP/IP sockets program that continuously attempts to open a socket port that does not exist.

To work around this problem, correct your TCP/IP sockets program so that it does not attempt to open the unsupported socket port.
