BlueScreen error after installing TortoiseSVN

After I installed TortoiseSVN and rebooted, I got a blue screen of
death upon the next reboot. The error was something about
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

My computer was otherwise quite stable and I haven't added new
hardware or knowingly changed device drivers recently. It's odd that I
would get an error like this because I don't think Tortoise does
anything in kernel mode.

I didn't suspect Tortoise was doing anything bad, but thought maybe it
was doing something legit that something ELSE in my system that was
running in kernel mode couldn't cope with. I barely know what I'm
talking about here. Anyway, I fixed it and I wanted to post about it
in case anyone else ran into it.

I recently bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, which
included its own source control system and a file system driver to
drive its client. These apps were freaking out when Tortoise was
installed. Maybe because they both had shell extensions that hooked
files the same ways? I don't know.

Anyway it's a long story so I wrote about it in my blog. I hope I am
able to help someone with this. It's been a long day.
