XP crash (OT)

Interestingly enough, I just added some checking to fhandler_base::open which

Oops.  No, that was the result of passing garbage to
InitializeObjectAttributes apparently.  Seems like a pretty serious XP
bug regardless.

Are you sure? InitializeObjectAttributes() is a macro.

How was the garbage being passed?
