  No.  It is impossible for a user-mode program to cause a BSoD.  Only a
device driver or kernel bug can cause that.

i am using a NetGear Mobile adapter with NG's driver. i have also tried
running spybot S&D in "dead mode" - a completely scan-of-the-drive only mode

another thing that I do have is the _windows_ firewall... i have no way
of removing that (sans for going back to 98, OC...) though I can DISABLE
it to some extent (when it says "something is trying to talk to the net!
 i'm gonna block it until you say otherwise!" i tell it to unblock and
go away)... i doubt this is the culprit though i have no Way of Testing
this.

one note is that when i try to build on my main WinXP machine (never
touches the net etc.) i get the same results. i have disabled the
Windows Firewall by using GoAwaySP2Firewall.. this however does not make
life any simpler..

is this an issue with the configure script or make?

Typical causes are buggy drivers or an O/S (kernel) bug.  My money is
on the former.  Try uninstalling any spyware or virus software you have

tried that my friend. ClamAV is disabled and Spybot S&D (and the
resident) are stopped and killed.

Turning these things off is not enough.  You have to uninstall them.
Otherwise, they will still be active in the network stack.  Try
uninstalling them.  Also, there are other buggy hardware drivers.
Logitec webcams are one known culprit.  Unfortunately, you're
going to need to experiment to find out what driver on your system
is causing the problems you're seeing.

FWIW, I expect ClamAV isn't the culprit but that's just my WAG.  I
wouldn't let that dissuade you from including it in your experimentation.
