I don't believe that I have requested anything from anyone.  I have almost all of the listings from V1 up through V7.2-1h1.
I have acquired all of these legally over the years and am willing to buy the versions I need from the appropriate location.
In the meantime, a conversation with someone that already has the listings seemed appropriate.  Without knowing exactly what I
need, I assumed (incorrectly I guess) that this posting was the easiest way to start the conversation.

Please don't assume that any illegal activity was requested or occurred nor will any occur in the future.

To Robert:  Thanks for the update.   There may be an error in the Clue report that tagged the COM_STD$POST_NOCNT routine because
I don't see a bugcheck in that routine.  Once I get the dump, I should be able to track this down further.
