Critical ShowStopper Bug in Windows 7 RTM

As most of you know, Windows 7 is expected to hit technet and MSDN by August 6th to a  much anticipated welcome. However, this particlar issue looks strangely out of place and makes you wonder how exactly this passed through validation:

To Reproduce:

  1. Run an elevated CMD prompt
  2. Run CHKDSK <drive letter:> /r
  3. With task manager open, you should see your memory quickly gobbled away in the chkdsk.exe process until it either stops at or around 90% or it maxes completely out and crashes the computer.
  4. **note, this will only occur if you have second or multiple hard drives, it does not happen on the drive installed with the OS.
