They are fine. But your case is more complex than the usual one.
It also could be a unique, subtle problem. Nobody else reported
this problem and I also can't reproduce it.

If the file caused BSOD but When it's ready and no problem then please run

ntfsinfo -fv -F file_name device

on Linux and sent th efull output.

I don't know if amule suports this. But I think the issue is sparse file   
related.

Ok.

Sparse file handling is transparent and a user space application definitely
shouldn't crash the OS. This is a serious Microsoft bug but we need to
figure out where the real problem is. A file system driver should never    
crash, not even with corrupted files and data.
