named as the culprit causing home routers to go into a crash and reboot
cycle <http://apcmag.com/router_crashes_blamed_on_windows_xp_sp3.htm>.
One router maker has released firmware updates to fix the problem, but
has not yet revealed what is actually different about XP SP3's
networking stack or UPnP behaviour that causes the problem. Router maker
Billion Managing Director Raaj Menon said "as Microsoft plans to make
Windows XP SP3 an automatic upgrade this month, the number of affected
routers may increase significantly.""/
