Then again, I did manage to blue screen WinXP yesterday purely by 
accident. Create enough .NET controls with a size of 
(Int.MaxValue,Int.MaxValue) and it'll eventually blue screen somewhere 
in the video driver.

Please don't ask how I managed this. Suffice it to say, I had a gross 
misunderstanding of the documentation for the GetPreferredSize function.
