[vpn-help] FW: Blue Screen of death - 2.16 beta 7

[Joel Wener]

The version I have installed is the version you sent on Saturday the 24th.
I since then responded that it was crashing less, but still crashing. I have
experienced multiple crashes since writing that e-mail.  And I agree it has
nothing to do with the transfer of data, it just sometimes crashes when I
disconnect, and sometimes it is okay.

Hi Joel,

I can see exactly where its failing the the mini-dumps, and it doesn't 
appear to be related to any send or receive code paths. Did you try the 
most recent version I posted for you several days ago?

Thanks,

-Matthew
