Don't know if this will help,  but I went through 3 machines running init
and rsync (nt, 2000 and XP)  and all of them , at one time or another, I
could trigger the blue screen by something as innocuous as :  ( with rsync
on) Stop init, rm /etc/rc.d/rsync, exit shell,  BSOD.  I think it odd that I
had this issue even when init was no longer running,  and not until I exited
the shell.  It didn't always happen ( I think it may be related to if rsync
had been called at anytime...) but it was nasty enough that in some cases I
couldn't even touch the etc/rc.d/rsync file with vim without eventually
crashing.  I'm over my head on this one...
