This is clearly a nasty bug in Microsoft's software. It should not be even _possible_ for their network stack to lock up like that. I suppose it's even possible that if you reported their bug to them, they'd fix it.

There's one that I know of, which should ship in some volume next year. In any case, I've not heard of any particular issues since that last batch of fixes. That doesn't mean there are no issues; just that any bugreports haven't made it out to anyplace they'd do some good. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
