Thank you very much for your diagnostic. The stack traces are not as
consistent as our driver crashes, so we have not posted them yet
before digging a bit deeper. We are now looking at the
startup/shutdown process of the driver, and there could be some
critical timing issues, but we will check and test.

Thanks again, will report back soon.

Keith
