[Full-disclosure] LSADump2 Crashing Windows

[oh face]

In my recent experience, LSADump2 has been crashing Windows boxes. I was 
able to verify this on fully patched Windows XP and 2003. In further 
examination, LSADump2, when executed, killed the "lsass" process, and with 
the "winlogon" process still running, the system was forced to reboot. As 
far as I know, LSADump2 is utilizing a DLL injection technique to dump the 
contents of LSA secrets.

Question:
1. Has anyone had this experience? If so, is there a safe method to execute 
this tool?
2. When I tested LSADump2 on various Windows boxes, not all fully patched 
boxes were affected by this issue. What configuration of Windows is exactly 
causing "lsass" to fail?
