I don't know if this describes the problem very well in my case, because I have
never seen garbage data if the buffer was under filled.  It never caused an
access violation like it would if it over wrote the buffer.  The machine just
locked up and the screen went dark.  BAD crash!

Applying IP07045 to LS 3.0 fixed the problem :-)
