It took couple of weeks (I've been running with it since the beginning
of August). I don't have any special trinity options, just the default
fuzzing. Do you think that focusing on any of the mm syscalls would
increase the odds of hitting it?

There's always the chance that this is a fluke due to corruption somewhere
else. I'll keep running it with the new debug patch and if it won't reproduce
any time soon we can probably safely assume that.


Thanks,
Sasha
