Just debugged it and it looks like a NULL pointer read in CSRSS, in winsrv!SrvCreateConsoleScreenBuffer.

In fact, the same bug exists in XP, but the NULL page is mapped in XP which is why it does not BSoD. So far I have not seen writes, only reads.

Update: it looks like the NULL pointer is accessed several times in the code. They mostly are 16-bit accesses, so it is probably not addresses. They seems to be in font-related code.
