NSISdl problem

Here is a simple script i'm using that can crash (brings up the "send error report to microsoft" dialog)

again, it depends on some kind of weird timing with the firewall. you should not check the box to "create a filter", you have to keep hitting deny at a certain rate, for me its about once a second, and i can get it to crash. Sometimes its ok, sometimes it crashes. I've seen this on multiple machines / OSes.

InstType Standard

Name "Test crash app"
ComponentText "This will crash sometimes"
OutFile "crash.exe"

Page instfiles "" "" ""

Section -DownloadScripts sec0
NSISdl::download /TIMEOUT=5000 "http://www.google.com/not-there.html" "not-there.txt"
Pop $R1

StrCmp $R1 "cancel" quitMe ""

NSISdl::download /TIMEOUT=5000 "http://www.winamp.com/not-there.html" "not-there2.txt"
Pop $R1

StrCmp $R1 "cancel" quitMe ""

goto out

quitMe:
Quit

out:
