Error: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

Hi,

When I am trying to create a logman counter on windows vista it throws the
following error "The data area passed to a system call is too small."

Although the same command works fine when executed on windows xp.

what could be the reason for it ??
(If I remove some objetcs to be monitored, it runs to a success)

The command is:

logman create counter monitoring --v -c "\Memory\Pages/sec" "\Memory\Page
Faults/sec" "\Memory\Demand Zero Faults/sec" "\Memory\Pages Input/sec"

That sort of error message sounds like a bug in logman itself -
consider reporting this issue to Microsoft
