CrashMe is a simple application that implements several common debug situations and scenarios. As such it is a great help for both; your first steps with WinDbg or if you ever need to reproduce a particular crash within a test environment. Take a look at the screen-shot bellow or simply do*nload it to get a hint of what we are talking about.
