Greetings,

I am experiencing an incredibly nasty bug in my application using the
latest WinPCap 3.1B3.  I assume the bug is in my code, so am reducing
it down to a minimal-code case to prove/disprove that.

Here's my question:  If there were a deadlock bug in NPF.SYS (like
the proverbial "JMP -1" or "jump self", if you prefer) infinite loop,
could that cause:

1) Application becomes totally unresponsive, showing zero 
CPU consumption

2) The debugger cannot halt the application

3) Windows cannot halt the application, and Windows can't shut down

4) On rare occasions, an instantaneous Windows crash+reboot, without
even a blue screen

That's what I've been hammering on all day.  Blessedly, the bug is
100% repeatable, so I should get down to a minimum code example (or
figure out what I'm doing wrong) pretty quickly.

In any case, having never developed an NDIS Minport driver (or any
other Windows driver), I'm curious whether this type of symptom set
would be familiar to someone who has developed one.  I've never seen
anything like this before.

Thanks to all,

Rob---
