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".

On a Win2K Server SP2 on a terminal session (administrator mode) it doesn't
crash the box.  However:
 - You can create a "cmd.exe" session that is unkillable
 - You can't log off that session
 - You can't kill that session or "cmd.exe" process from the console
(taskmgr.exe)
 - You can't log the user off from Terminal Services Manager
 - You can't create another instance of "cmd.exe" in that terminal session
 - A reboot is required to kill the session.

Hello, this is a new bug found in W2K in all flavors, works with all levels
of users.

Here is the proof of concept:

Open a Cmd Window
Ping to any host (for example ping 10.100.2.1 preferred a host in your LAN),
no switch needed. Just ping
Now press F7 and Enter (try a couple of times quickly...less than ten , and
you can see what a meaning)
The machine reboots, from nothing a warm reboot.
Please let me know if you have the same bug. I tried this in W2k sp2 English
and Spanish.
