Would it be possible for ndiswrapper to provide a seperate stack to the windows code so this problem is seperable?
How debuggable is stack overrun? I mean if I am the unlucky admin who decides to setup a crypto/raid/stripe/thing setup which runs out of stack somewhere how easy will it be for someone who doesn't know the innards to know what happened as opposed to running into a random oops?
