Hmmm, don't look familiar. I can capture with a msvc2005ee build without 
problems.

Out of the blue: did you made a distclean before the actual build? That 
saved me from several headaches!

What capture options did you choose? Special interface, ring buffer, 
...? Can you "play" a bit and see if it crashes on other "i/o" 
operations (open a file, print, ...) too?

BTW: I assume that you run WS on the devel machine :-)
