Howard,

        Would you mind checking http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912923 and
reporting back a bit more about the values from WMIC?

        I'm hoping to identify:
                1) Are you using hardware-enforced DEP?
                2) What the current value is for the Windows enforcement of
it
                3) Any possible hardware switches (Note the last line of
Method 1)
        
        In addition to the information wmic will provide, can you also tell
me:
                1) Which mobel Toshiba laptop (Trying to understand
processor architecture)
                2) What version of Windows you're running (Full version
string of major/minor/build + 32 bit or 64-bit)

        If I followed the thread correctly, I understand you can and have
compiled your own versions. If you are running on a 64-bit platform with a
64-bit OS, are you compiling 64-bit Windows binaries or the default 32-bit
ones? I'm suspecting based on your description that you're on 32-bit and
running 32-bit, I just wanted to make sure, since DEP can get weird when
there are mismatches.
        
        To be fair, DEP has caused me more headache than it's worth, simply
because the sheer number of buggy programs out there. It's a trade-off
between hard crashes (because of the NX bit being triggered) or soft crahses
+ potential security holes (to be fair, not every buffer under/overrun
represents an exploitable security hole, and surprisingly some systems can
'gracefully' recover, even if they're still buggy in the first place). 

        While you're doing that, I'll flip on hardware DEP on my Vista x64
machine and see if I can reproduce with the native x64 binaries I've been
compiling for my own environment. I know it's probably not a 1:1 mapping of
your problem, but hopefully if it is some bug in Hugin, it'll surface there
as well.

Thanks,
        Ryan
