I can jam WIN 2000 in a few minutes- WITHOUT CYGWIN !!!! - can you?


Ha Ha!

The bug I have been digging into (with my Dell laptop)
that I first saw in cygwin also manifests from the
Win2000 command prompt, with no involvement by cygwin
at all.

Soooooo................

What list do people suggest I go to with this Win 2000
bug?  

Any suggestions?

Here is the WIN script I used, called win_crashme.cmd:

echo off
pslist | grep Pid
:top
pslist pslist | grep pslist
goto top

and here was the command I used to jam Win2000:

win_crashme > w1.txt 2>&1 


where pslist.exe is from the pstools distribution of
Mark Russinovich of www.systeminternals.com, and grep
is a free version off the web- 

The loop ran about 4000 iterations in less than 5
minutes and jammed WIN so well that I took the battery
out.  The high PID appeared to lead to the jam.  The
PID did not increase monotonically, just damn close. 
Here are a few groups of consecutive lines of just the
process name and PID (= WINPID):


Name	Pid 
pslist	400
pslist	2052
pslist	2888
pslist	1984
pslist	3480
pslist	3552
pslist	3568
pslist	3572
pslist	3584
pslist	3592
pslist	3600
...
pslist	33188
pslist	33196
pslist	2060
pslist	33208
pslist	33216
pslist	33224
pslist	33232
pslist	33240
...
pslist	33440
pslist	33448
pslist	2980
pslist	33460
pslist	33468
pslist	33476
...
pslist	36908
pslist	36916
pslist	36924

Any suggestions?



I am not the sort to mess with Windows on the machine
my employer gave me, so I wonder why things are weird
with it.  I can not remember even touching the
registry until I tried debugging cygwin.
