  ****************************************************************
  When using the Microsoft CryptoAPI MSCAPI security package
  with PCOM printer sessions, the session may disconnect
  abruptly. This is due to incorrect handling of the
  INCOMPLETE_MESSAGE by MSCAPI DecryptMessage() API.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSMSSEC.DLL has been changed to correctly handle the
  INCOMPLETE_MESSAGE from MSCAPI.
  
  Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.8 Refresh Pack
