To me this looks like a bug that crashes the ntvdm, then corrupts the stack
until windows eventually dies with a "windows subsystem failure". Which was
the error message when I ran it on my acer laptop.

The reason the other computers reboot is because of an option set in
System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery/Automatically Reboot.

Cheers,
Steve

Does anyone know: is the F7 key (used in CMD.EXE as to bring up a
most-recently-used command list) implemented in kernel or user space? If its
in user space, then this is a doubly worrying bug as it hints that it would
be possible for a non-privileged user to write code that could cause a BSOD
and reboot. If it's in kernel space, well I just hope that this situation is
not caused by an unchecked buffer....
