        i've confirmed it here. I'm running Windows XP Corporate Edition (
    English ) with SP1 applied and all other fixes available on
    windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Opening the file you sent causes an
    immediately reboot of the machine. That's very strange, for sure :)

        Sincerily,
        Leonardo Rodrigues
