Not sure if this is the right fix? We've added this issue to our memory dump diagnostic which can confirm.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You join a computer to a network. The computer is running one of the following operating systems:

    • Windows Vista

    • Windows Server 2008

    • Windows 7

    • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • The network is configured to use Internet Protocol security (IPsec) network address translation traversal (NAT-T) security.

  • You use IPsec to communicate with another computer in the network.

In this scenario, you randomly receive a Stop error message that resembles the following, and then the computer restarts:

STOP 0x000000C2 (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)

Notes

  • This Stop error describes a BAD_POOL_CALLER issue.

  • The four parameters in this error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

  • Not all "0x000000C2" Stop errors are caused by this issue.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a race condition in the Tcpip.sys driver. The Tcpip.sys driver does not handle the reference count of an object correctly. Therefore, a thread tries to free an object that was already freed by another thread, and the Windows triggers a Stop error.
