    i've confirmed it here. I'm running Windows XP Corporate Edition (
English ) with SP1 applied and all other fixes available on
windowsupdate.microsoft.com.  Opening the file you sent causes an
immediately reboot of the machine. That's very strange, for sure :)

    Sincerily,
    Leonardo Rodrigues
