Umm, that has never happened to me, and I did do "heavy" development on my
Windows box, with applications crashing, and sometimes even the entire
machine going down because some process could not be cleaned up anymore
(but not due to a bug in my code, as far as I can tell). So it is
definitely not a hardware flaw and can only be the result of a buggy
driver...
