I'm pretty sure it is. Please view my report at an MS newsgroup
(http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel/browse_thread/thread/e0abddb962b97e18/ec35934b0f4d84c4#ec35934b0f4d84c4)

One of the subscribers (Tom G.) mentioned that it is a known MS bug,
though they thought it happens only with Win 2003 (my experience is
with XP SP 2)
