If the the AV disabled, the PC does not crash.

Unfortunately, disabling the AV on the PC in a networked
environment like ours is simply not an option.

It's a bit interesting though that's it's now possible to
crash WinXP by doing something as simple as this. I
expected better "crash-resistant" behaviour from WinXP
after the SP2 upgrade.
