SYMPTOMS
Occasionally, Stop 0x0000000A occurs in Win32k.sys during DDE cleanup as a
window is closing.
CAUSE
During window termination, the current thread posted the DDE conversation
partner that it was terminating. The partner thread immediately gains
control and performs cleanup. The original thread regains control and
attempts to use a pointer to the partner[ASCII 146]s structures to update indicators.
This pointer is null because the partner already performed cleanup.
RESOLUTION
