Error code 87 is not a Windows NT bug.
If an application stops functioning and Dr. Watson generates:
Could not attach to the application. Windows NT error code = 87

-or-

Windows NT Error Code 87

it is due to the application self terminating or being shutdown by another application, causing an access violation. Dr. Watson can't attach as the application is already shutdown. The Dr. Watson log contains:

Could not Attach to the application
Windows NT Error Code 87

with no additional debugging information
