  I knew the gist of it, but the details ares nice to have.  Thanks
for writing that up.

  Heh.  If it was that easy, I would have done so already.  :)
PORTCLS.SYS comes with Windows XP.  It describes itself as "Port Class
(Class Driver for Port/Miniport Devices)".  From that, I gather it's
some kind of library that provides fundamental functions common to
most drivers.  In short, it could be anything.  :-(

  Sam Cayze's link to analyzing the crash dump looks like it might be
what I have to do.  Looks moderately involved, given that I've never
done that before.  Baring a better answer, guess I guess I'll have to
suck it up.
