LO44669: NOTES CLIENT SHOULD INITIALIZE NETWORK LAYER EARLIER TO AVOID 3RD PARTY HANG

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An internal IBM ExtMgr DLL can cause hangs due to poor coding
  decisions.
  The tool can make network calls, even before the user has used
  any network
  resources.   That is a questionable practive.
  To be polite to IBMers, and avoid the hang, the minor timing
  change has been
  reverted.
