Hi Joel,

Just a quick update. I have a new build that I am very confident will 
solve this problem entirely. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to 
test it internally yet. I will get that to you by tomorrow morning at 
the very latest.

For others following this thread: This problem effects anyone who may be 
using a PPTP or similar NDIS WAN adapter type. The symptom is that when 
the PPTP connection is closed ( and the PPTP adapter goes away ), the 
system blue screens due to a fault in the vfilter.sys driver on Windows 
Vista/7 platforms. A fix for this will be integrated into the next 2.1.6 
Beta release.

Thanks,

-Matthew
