Windows Vista Application freezes (deadlock) when opening SaveDialog

I discovered a serious problem with "GetSaveFileName" on Windows Vista:
In certain situation the Save-Dialog does not come up and the Application freezes (forever).
This means that the user can not save his data. This is not acceptable!!
Below there is a link where you can download a small demo application
which generates the bug (see readme.txt).
File-Upload.net - VistaFreeze.zip
Does anyone already seen his Application freeze while trying to open the save-dialog?

I thought i could send my bugreport to microsoft but this seems to be impossible.
Does somebody know any email-address or something where i can send bugreports
to microsoft??

PLEASE HELP: LOOSING DATA AFTER HOURS OF WORK MAKES PEOPLE VERY ANGRY :mad:
 
microsoft connect is a "data mining site".
You have to "register" before you can post anything there.
And they are asking too many questions. Things that are
definitely not necessary to fix a bug in windows.
I don't want my name etc in any database of "these" guys.
(But thanks to you anyway) :cool:

I noticed that some people have downloaded the freeze-sample application.
