I've received this Classic WU twice and it's crashed both times right at the end. I get the little Windows XP SP3 popup that says core A0 has encountered a problem. I don't know if it's my PC or a problem with the WU.

Edit: I'm running a 2GHz Core Duo w/ 3.2G RAM. If someone else has completed this WU it might help to debug.

I've reported this as a bad WU even though it looks like a problem with Core_a0

[bretth603]

Now that you mention it, you're right: it probably is a core_a0 problem or problem with core_a0 on my machine. The other WUs I've run recently were on other cores.

Thanks for the tip. Now, how to debug it.....I'll pay attention to that core from now on.
