BSOD on NT Workstation 4.0 SP3 also.  I was able to copy some details
from the screen, and find some KB articles...

This is what I did:

   dir  (in a large directory.)
   F7 <enter>  (5 times, but probably works with fewer.)

(After the dir completes, there is a pause while the external
SCSI disks are synced.  Interesting.)

   STOP: C000021a {Fatal System Error}
   The Windows SubSystem system process terminated unexpectedly
   with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x5ffc5cc1 0x00a5fc68)
   The system has been shut down.

Nothing in the system log at the time of the system error, but this is
in the log after restart:

   The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was:
   0xc000021a (0xe237f9c8, 0xc0000005, 0x5ffc5cc1, 0x00a5fc68).
   Microsoft Windows NT [v15.1381]. A full dump was not saved.

Searching for "C000021a" at microsoft.com turns up some pertinent
KB articles, such as:
    http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q150/1/40.asp
(which notes the problem existed in NT 3.51, supposedly fixed.)

also:

(and a few others which do not seem too relevant.)
