Summary: Crash on coLinux start

Initial Comment:
coLinix is crashing when it's starting.  My machine is Windows xp SP3.  The crash only occurs when using a PAE kernel.  If PAE is disabled, then it will not crash.  I am using the 0.7.9 release and the Debian-6.0.1-squeeze.7z image.

This crash is not consistent.  I've created a little script that starts coLinux, waits, then kills it.  It does this in a loop until it crashes.  It will eventually crash, but it can be from as little as 10 tries upwards of 174 tries in the loop.  I've attached the script, it's test.sh.  I run this under cygwin.  I've also tried this on two separate boxes, both are winxp sp3 without PAE.  One box seems to crash quicker than the other, but they both eventually do it.

I've attached one of the minidump files.  From examining the dump files in windbg, they all appear the same.  The crash is in a thread that's not running linux.sys.  It always crashes at the nt!MiFreeInPageSupportBlock+0x2a.

Let me know if there's any more testing/information I can gather to track this down.

Message:
Hello Lorne,
the dump file not helps. I have not sane of your binary files here.
Please use WinDbg, load the dump and post the text output from "!analyze
-v" here.

Debuggers help page was moved, but the old link is still available:
