Uhmm, like open? close? delete?. Cygwin pushes the fs less than things
like MS proxy server 2.0, which had thousands of files with _long_
filenames in it's uri cache.

Well, win2k SP2 hasn't been out for months :]. I've already heard a
couple of horror stories about SP2 on focus-ms. The thing to remember,
with any configuration, is that stability == don't change unless you are
affected by a problem. And sometimes not even then.

alreasdy have some info in memory.dmp from the last bluescreen.
