Please run it under DebugView/gdb/Visual debugger and see where the

Great, we have someone who's seen setup's innards able to reproduce
this. I was using a SMB share earlier today, no errors other than two
bluescreens (youch, something dodgy with that kernel :}).

And no, we can't go back, unless someone (not me) wants to build a 2.194
that won't crash with a yacc stack exhaustion.
