[RESOLVED] Win2008R2 SP1: STOP 0xAB with tag Gdbr (nt!MiCheckSessionPoolAllocations+0x13f)
Status: Resolved
Update 121122: Finally! After many rounds of instrumentation we nailed this nasty bug as well! :D It's now resolved in KB2786447, to be released in January 2013 (REL13-01).
Update 120417: We currently have a new round of instrumentation running... fingers crossed!
Update 120323: After opening an RFC for this we got new dumps with instrumentation, showing us the following call stack related to the Gdbr allocation that's causing the STOP 0xAB:

On Monday Engineering will continue research on this...
Since a few days I am working on two STOP 0xABs, where the leaking tag is Gdbr, as identified from the !poolused 8 output.

Both customers are running an instrumented win32k.sys currently, to track down the root cause of the leak. Stay tuned and let me know when your machine hits this too!
