... and unfortunately it seems to have been broken for so long my git history 
won't tell me when :-(

Oh dear. Possibly one of those "how did it ever work?" bugs.

If you need testing resource / validation for any patches you'd like to throw 
my way, I do have a v. good set of automates test cases which will repro the 
bug (after about 12 hours of CPU grinding), and check that most obvious things 
aren't broken.

IRQL is such a nightmare: You can get it wrong in one place and the subtly 
broken CPU state then dies in the next piece of code that needs some level of 
atomicity.


Probably won't get time to try a patch myself this week. I can take a stab next week though.
