I attempted to reproduce this on Windows XP SP3 but was unsuccessful. The crash dump indicates a buffer stack overflow.
ExceptionAddress: 71ab4f27 (ws2_32!NSPROVIDER::Initialize+0x00000163)
ExceptionCode: c0000409 (Stack buffer overflow)
Perhaps a 3rd party winsock LSP (Layered Socket Provider) is generating the stack buffer overflow? This could be something like a firewall to a vpn client driver, depending on which winsock LSPs are registered on your computer.

The last link might not apply, but I found it my research and thought you may want to at least check it out.
