There is a code sample in the bug report - (its actually a stripped down
version of code for a splash screen but that's irrelevant - I'd like to know
why it crashes)

For a workaround, you would need to describe what you are trying to
acomplish.

Well yes... I posted a reproducible code sample and it crashes in the CLR -
hence my request for some help from someone in MS - they seem to have
acknowledged it is a bug without actually describing what the bug is

So you don't want a workaround? You just want to know why it crashes on
Windows 2000?

To find out why it crashes would require reproducing and debugging it on
Windwos 2000.

product feedback *is* the correct place to report a bug - if you went to the
link I posted, you will see I got the rather unhelpful response below - hence
my request for help from someone from Microsoft - if you do not have inside
information about this problem you probably won't be able to help me (as
indeed you haven't)

"...next release of the .NET Framework (codenamed â€œOrcasâ€) requires a high
degree of backwards compatibility. As such we are not able to address this
issue with a fix in the .NET Framework in the Orcas timeframe. Many customers
have found it useful to discuss issues like this in the forums
(http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx?siteid=1) where Microsoft and
other members of the community can suggest work arounds. "

Ok, in that case, product feedback is the wrong mechanism. That's more for
improving future products.

These groups might help, but it's hit or miss. For instance I don't have a
Windows 2000 instance with .NET 2.0 running anywhere, so I can't help.

For analyzing and resolving issues in shipping software, Microsoft support
is the way to go: http://support.microsoft.com/.

I did read your post, and if you were interested in a workaround, it might
be something like

/// <summary
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

Form1 splash = new Form1();
ProgressBar progress = new ProgressBar();
progress.Maximum = 3;
progress.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
splash.Controls.Add(progress);

Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(delegate {
Application.Run(splash); }));
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();

Form1 main = new Form1();

main.Load += delegate
{
Thread.Sleep(200);//simulate a long load time
splash.Invoke(new ThreadStart(delegate {
progress.Increment(1); }));
Thread.Sleep(200);//simulate a long load time
splash.Invoke(new ThreadStart(delegate {
progress.Increment(1); }));
Thread.Sleep(200);//simulate a long load time
splash.Invoke(new ThreadStart(delegate {
progress.Increment(1); }));
Thread.Sleep(200);//simulate a long load time
};

main.Shown += delegate
{
splash.Invoke( new ThreadStart(delegate {
splash.Close(); }) );
};

Application.Run(main);

}
