My question here though is:
How can a user level program do this?
I would have expected an access violation that would have thrown out
the program but not a repeatable bluescreen.
Why not ?
It can invoke a hardware driver function, and that can cause the blue screen.
The main difference between the two programs is that the mistakenly
started program uses a not yet ready buffer class where a dynamically
sized byte array is used as a buffer and data are moved using the Move
function.
The program itself is probably not the cause, but the hardware driver.
By their very nature, they are less "checked" by windows.
In all of my programming with Delphi I have never managed to make a
programming error that consistently bluescreens the PC.
I can reliably do this with wireless connections on my laptop.
Just start the wireless, and then open mozilla firefox or IE.
BS guaranteed.
