Usually "unhandled kernel-mode exception" or "page fault in non-paged 
area". Fortunately, I haven't seen one of these for years now. I used to 
see them almost daily.

Perhaps you can tell me what event #3019 from MRxSmb means then, because 
the description merely says "the redirector failed to determine the 
connection type". (WHAT redirector? WHAT connection? WTF?)

Once upon a time, a compiler or interpreter would have come with an 
extensive user manual. Today you get far less.

Then again, GHC costs nothing. The Pascal compiler I used to use cost me 
£80. (!!)
