I tested this patch with AbiWord. I selected one of the color selector down
menus. This always generates an bug check and the program terminates with
window threads still resident. Now I exit explorer to shutdown the system.
Instead of locking up and hitting the reset button, the system shut down
normally. Was this test close to what you have seen? Or am I off in left field?
Thanks,
James
