That's a very common error that happens when you have mismatched files in your NetWare server. For example, if you have SP9 installed, and something goes wrong, you get in over your head, so you decide that reinstalling the server will fix the problem <shaking head in disbelief>. Well, when you do that, now some of the files are going to be mismatched depending on how the installation did it's file/date/version checking. You'll have some files fromthe original CD, and others from SP9.  viola, you now have files that try to load, but the old versions that you just put on there are now the wrong version and don't have the necessary code to load correctly.

Sometimes resolving it is as easy as reapplying the service pack. But it kinda depends on which modules are trying to load that give you the errors. Usually if the SPACK doesn't fix it you have to troubleshoot the NLM loads on an individual basis.
