Arcserve 6 - causing server crashes on 3.12?

We are running NetWare v3.12 and Arcserve 6.

NetWare Patch levels: 312PT8.EXE, LANDR5.EXE, STRTL4.EXE, LIBUP8.EXE
Server: Compaq Proliant 1500, 82MB RAM, 8GB hard disk
Backup Device: Compaq 4/16 external DAT drive to Compaq Smart SCSI

The problem is that, approximately every two weeks, the server crashes with 
"ReturnAllocResourceTag caught a resource tag out of sync with memory" whilst 
Arcserve is doing the backup. It happens about 1 hour into the cycle (which 
takes around 3 hours to complete under normal conditions). The backup is timed 
to start at 2am.

The error, according to NSE Pro, relates to memory resources which have not 
been properly relinquished by some process. 

Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, how did you get around 
it? I have the Arcserve 6 Pre-Flight Check log (PFC.LOG) and the only error 
message it displays is a message indicating that we should have 178MB RAM for 
our 8GB of DASD.

TIA

Peter Dwyer
