The problem seems to be in OSR2. Also, it seems to be harder (= you have to try more often) to reproduce it on slower systems, my P120 is more or less invulnerable against it. You have to try a lot to make it go down. Additionally, the bug has different effects. In my tests, I could do it and it then took several minutes before the computer went down, so a "success" can be misstaken for "system invulnerable". But from what I gathered, this attack only has effect on Windows9x, so except making various "mirkkwariors" happy, it's no security concern. ..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.. http://www.11a.nu || http://bluefish.11a.nu eleventh alliance development & security team
