Easy - run NT Server 3.51 with service pack 4, it doesn't waste your
time on reading such stupid messages - it just crashes immidietly.

(I've been doing exactly what you describe above (64 Mb RAM, 3 disks of 2 Gb
each, two clients over a private ethernet, a couple of hundreds of kilobytes
a second, 100-200 threads) for the last few weeks, and the NT server goes
up and down like a 2 cent whore).

We are now on the stage of calling Microsoft international in order to figure
out what's wrong (I dream about them admitting that the mistake was
using NT in the first place, and propose "this Linux thingy, it has a
better implementation of Samba/NFS" :-).
