Miscellaneous: Client crashing to desktop attempting to zone into Kithicor Forest

[Proven Guilty]

As the title states, seems to happen on any character at any zoneline into Kith. This happened years ago on Blue with my warrior Provenx.

I just made a new cleric named Silverstone and I've also made a druid named Macaulay who are both halfling starting in Rivervale.

Macaulay is in zone crash loop but I have not yet zoned Silverstone (I'm going to try Misty Thicket).

I'm a pretty technical guy (operations engineer for a large CDN network) so there is a lot I can do to help if you guys wanted to try to troubleshoot/debug this issue.

I can probably get this system running in Wine under Linux, but I'm currently using Windows 7 64bit. I've replaced the zone file to eliminate the chance it was corrupt (can someone give me an md5 or sha sum if yours works/zones fine?) and my installation was from my original titanium CDs.

I've also moved the EQ folder to a different location on the hard drive to eliminate UAC permissions issue but no joy.

I'm open to ideas if there is anything you guys can suggest or if you have time, I can jump on google hangout if someone wants to try to grab a packet capture. After some searching on the forums, it looks like I may not be the only one who's ever experienced this problem.
