Really? Because if I have this in there I can actually run the 
long-duration stability tests for 12+ hours rather than just a few hours 
(it doesn't happen all the time but I've seen it at least once). But, 
hey, if you want to investigate the reason why we have a NULL there then 
go ahead. I guess I'll just have to carry this patch for as long as my 
machine crashes during my TDR testing.

Thanks,
Tomas
