[vpn-help] BSOD/crash worse in beta 4

[Tim Mensch]

I definitely continued to see a crash with 2.1.6 beta 3 on my i7 desktop 
(it runs 8 concurrent threads). When I checked the minidump files, it 
was crashing in a completely different place than 2.1.5 crashed, though. 
I've already forwarded all minidumps to Matthew off-list.

I haven't tried 2.1.6 beta 4 on my desktop, since 2.1.5 rc3 was actually 
stable on my laptop (also Windows 7 x64, but only 2 threads and not as 
fast). Next week I'll try beta 4 on my desktop, but since I just got a 
BSOD on my laptop using beta 4, I'm not eager to do the experiment.
