    I have also verified this - win2k english sp2 - with 2-3 F7s.
    
    However, it seems to work with command line programs other than ping - i've 
    caused my machine to reboot by substituting telnet and even "dir /s" for 
    ping.  Additionally, it seems that the crash occurs after the command 
    finishes executing.  I saw a BSOD flicker past but i couldn't make out any 
    details past "STOP: c000021a Fatal System Error".
    
    Regards,
    Jon
