Hi Joel,

The crash happened in exactly the same place but it doesn't make a whole 
lot of sense. There is a status indication coming from the NDIS WAN 
driver that passes a message which contains a pointer to a structure. 
The crash happens when I try to read a pointer value in that structure. 
I'm starting to believe its a trash pointer but I have one other thing 
to try if this build still doesn't fix the problem.

I added a bunch of sanity checks on the message fields, the reported 
structure length and other structure fields in an attempt to avoid 
evaluating memory that, according to the status indication definition, 
should be readable.

Can you please give this build a spin? Hopefully its a winner.
