I have been able to reproduce this on a variety of machines, the only 
common attribute that I noticed has been Hyperthreading itself 
(WinXP/WinServer2003, 2.6GHz P4-HT/2.8GHz P4-HT/Dual 3.2GHz Zeon-HT, 
40Gig Mitsubishi harddrive/36G Western Digital/80 Gig HP, with or 
without a CD-ROM drive, with or without a floppy).  I unplugged my mouse 
and was able to reproduce it.  I unplugged the monitor and reproduced it 
over remote desktop connection.

So, at this point, I would believe that any HT machine running at least 
WinXP would show the problem.
