|I'd be *really* interested to know (1) if this is reproducible, and (2) how
|it is that IDE & TCC (which have no ring 0 code) could be implicated in a
|BSOD.
If it's reproducible, it won't be easy. I opened/edited/ran/debugged the same
BTM a few times afterward and nothing bad happened. The BTM itself does nothing
fancy ... TYPEs a URL (to file), uses my plugins GREPP, NOTAGS, @AVG, calls one
text-based external (cut.exe).
Do you know what win32k.sys does?

It's the kernel-mode driver for the Windows GUI subsystem. It's called by things like user32.dll, and one of its requirements is that it must never, ever, BSOD.

I got this (below) in the event log. Is the dump of any value to you?
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xbf841f29, 0xab891604, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini111310-01.dmp.

I opened the dump in WinDbg ... can't make sense of most of it but did find a
call stack just before the crash.

Wouldn't be of any use to me, as none of it is my code and there's no source available to trace it. You either had a memory error or you found a Windows bug (more likely the former).
If it happens again you might want to pass it along to Microsoft.
