This is different from the "device bug" in Xitami -- that just caused
Xitami to crash (and sometimes required the machine to be rebooted
before Xitami could be started again, but the machine was still usable).

So it sounds like something different is going on.

Can anyone else reproduce this issue on another version of Windows?
(There were bugs like this -- accessing a device in the "wrong" way
could crash Windows -- in previous versions of Windows 95 and maybe
98, and there were patches available from Microsoft to fix it; but I'd
have thought these'd have been fixed by Me.)
