Hi Moran,
Windows 2000 is full of local buffer overflows. We too reported a couple to MS, and then stopped looking. There was a 
discussion some time back on Nslookup having a local BO. I think the thread is here:

there is a problem with cipher.exe.
overflow occurs when you add string of more than 256 chars.
example:
c:\> cipher.exe  <A * 257>

program will crash.
