Environment

Cause

The problem is related to a known defect with the ntevl probe which occurs in some circumstances related to the amount of system memory allocated and also can be related to specific characters (regex) in the profiles.

Resolution

• The versions of the probe after ntevl 4.32 contain the fix to this issue.
• Download and deploy any of the more recent versions as they contain corrected code which will prevent the crash.
