Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix

1.
 Servers in a farm intermittently experienced a fatal error on Wdica.sys
with stop error 0xC2. This occurred because a thread in Wdica.sys was
attempting to free a variable that had already been freed.

This fix synchronizes access to the variables so the fatal error no longer
occurs.

[From Hotfix MPSE300W2K3006][#71243]

2.
 Kana lock of Japanese IME turned off unexpectedly when focus was on an ICA
session connecting to a MetaFrame/Windows 2003 Server.

On Windows 2003 Server, the Terminal Service checks the keyboard attribute
before notifying the keyboard drivers of the KANA_LOCK status change. Even
though the client had a Japanese keyboard, MetaFrame was not receiving the
KANA_LOCK flag because the client continued to tell Terminal Services to
recognize the attached keyboard as an English 101 keyboard.

With this fix, even when the client has a Japanese keyboard, the Kana lock
state is preserved.

3.
 Users occasionally experienced disconnected sessions when transferring
large amounts of data over low-bandwidth modem connections.

This fix prevents the session from disconnecting.

4.
 If the following registry key was set with a non-zero value, servers
occasionally experienced a fatal error when users connected through Secure
Gateway 2.0:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\Wds\icawd

Type: REG_DWORD
Data: ActiveLatencyPeriodInSeconds

This was caused by an error in timing that caused the reusage of a buffer
that was already freed.

This hotfix ensures that the servers no longer experience a fatal error when
connecting through Secure Gateway 2.0 even if the registry key is set with a
non-zero value.
