Heh, you gotta love that windows threading/multi-crashing code. My favourite on this laptop is when it keeps popping up the, "Low on virtual memory, so windows has increased it for you. Close some applications." message - every 2 seconds, not giving you a chance to close anything.
NT4 had a bug (seems to be gone in 2K) where if you were running a program under a debugger, then tried to kill it using Task Manager, Task Manager would deadlock. Then if you tried to stop the debugger, that would deadlock too. Then if you started a new Task Manager and tried to kill either of them the new one would deadlock. If you tried to shut down the system, the shutdown process would deadlock as it tried to terminate any of the above.

Big button time.
