Problem Note 36111: Potential memory leak in SORT module causes Workspace server to fail

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

If a SAS® procedure that calls a multi-threaded sort is executed thousands of times in a single Workspace server session, a segmentation violation error can occur and the Workspace server will fail.

PROC SORT, PROC SQL, and PROC MEANS/SUMMARY are some of the procedures that may request a multi-threaded sort.
