I made the mistake once yesterday with the new WinPcap 3.0 alpha of sending a packet using a buffer that was way too large. (I actually sent a packet using the LPPACKET pointer that I was using to receive packets, which of course had been initialized to a quarter megabyte in size.) I don't know why, but at around this time I got an unrecoverable "Stop" blue screen on my Windows 2000 system. (I think I was sending to an Intel Pro/100 card NDIS driver, but I'm not sure.) I never tried this before, and don't think I will try it again (would rather not crash this particular computer more than necessary if I can help it!). I fixed the code immediately afterwards, so I don't actually know if it is reproducable, and I don't know if it is library version dependent, and can't even conclusively say that it was the WinPcap driver that crashed. If I remember right the "Stop" screen pointed to NTOSKRNL as the module that crashed.
Just thought I would mention my experience in case there's a bug that needs fixing.
