Subject: Office XP, Windows XP may send sensitive documents to Microsoft

PROBLEM: Microsoft Office XP and Internet Explorer version 5 and later
are
configured to request to send debugging information to Microsoft in the
event of a program crash. The debugging information includes a memory
dump
which may contain all or part of the document being viewed or edited.
This
debug message potentially could contain sensitive, private information.
