  I've often wondered.  Does anyone know what happens when you have a bunch of
executables (dlls and exes) mapped as image views into a running process and
the server suddenly goes away just as windows wants to page in a chunk of
.text section?  Is it clever enough to back the whole image by a page file at
startup when it's coming from a network redirector?

    cheers,

Since the PE header has a flag that let's you specify that you want to copy
network stored .exe/.dll into swap before executing, I would say you will get
GPF if the flag is not there and the server disappears and Windows try to
page in a bit.
