SYMPTOMS
With Windows SFU, you can create a very deep directory tree. A deep directory tree can be nested thousands of directories deep.

The computer may stop responding and you may receive a halt code if you construct a deep directory tree, change the current directory to a directory that is several levels deep, and then you try to use a relative path.

The halt code is generally the following:

0x000000C2 (BAD_POOL_CALLER)
