If more than the maximum number (16 by default) of processes that require user input are started without receiving the corresponding input, the server may stop responding (hang).

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows NT 4.0 service pack that contains this fix.
