Um. Nope. If Windows blue screens then the only people to blame are
Microsoft. Nothing you can do to the system via a shared drive should
crash the system. It doesn't matter if you throw invalid packets at it,
the system still shouldn't crash. I take it that the system is up to date on it's
service packs and patches.
