[comp.windows.ms] Bug in W4W Thesaurus

The other day I looked up the word 'Break' in the W4W thesaurus, clicked
'synonyms' and it blew me out of the water (UAE)! I tried again and it
completely rebooted my computer.  This does not happen with any other
words that I've looked up so far, and is not specific to my computer as
I rang my parents company where they use W4W on a variety of 286 and 386
machines and the same thing happens ... again only with the word
'break'.

Any comments (Microsoft are you listening) ... do you think this is
someones idea of a joke (it only happens for the word break after all)?
