Crashed it again. The repeats have to be done at speed, which leads me to suspect some sort of buffer overflow and a slow clearance rate of the command queue in this case.

I was doing the F11-ESC-F11-ESC sequence and didn't get a crash. Don't get a crash with the F11 cycle either. Maybe I am not able to overflow my keyboard buffer? Might be interesting to try it on my Surface Pro at home - it is not quite as uber as my work PC.

Funny thing is, I don't need to type that fast to trigger this bug. I believe it's a matter of keyboard sensitivity. Mine is a mechanical one, a Corsair with Cherry MX Red switches with a polling rate of 1000Hz/1ms. It's like typing with a gun trigger.
Also, key rollover may come into play. The majority of keyboards cannot process many key press at once and that could be the reason why it's not easy to reproduce this bug for you.
