Default XP crashes when disconnecting dial-up connection

Using Windows XP Pro, SP3 + all subsequent updates.

Intermittent problem: after successfully connecting to the ISP via
dial-up, everything works fine until disconnecting, when the machine
crashes and reboots.

This scenario is unpredictable -- sometimes the machine crashes,
sometimes it doesn't. No recent hardware changes.

I suspect a memory glitch. Other ideas anyone?

Not a memory glitch...but a voltage spike

an MOV across the line *might* help though there may already be one
built-in to the modem
