I am getting a crash inside win32 fn:: SHBrowseForFolder().
The code is as follows:

            BROWSEINFO   bi = {0}; 
    TCHAR   szDisplayName[MAX_PATH]; 
    szDisplayName[0]    =   ' ';

    bi.hwndOwner        =   NULL; 
    bi.pidlRoot         =   NULL; 
    bi.pszDisplayName   =   szDisplayName; 
    bi.lpszTitle        =   _T("Please select a folder :"); 
    bi.ulFlags          =   BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS;
    bi.lParam           =   NULL; 
    bi.iImage           =   0;  

    LPITEMIDLIST   pidl   =   SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);//crashes

The crash comes only in some XP machines and doesn’t come on vista machines.
Kindly suggest some solutions.

Thanks.
