I don't want to trod on anyone's tail, but
assigning _Thread =  KeGetCurrentThread(), and
then asserting _Thread ==  KeGetCurrentThread()
on the next line does seem excessively myopic, yes ?

Unless you expect KeGetCurrentThread() to be fubar
and return rand(), in which case the assert should be removed
when KeGetCurrentThread() gets it's head on straight.

As to the talent, or lack thereof, of MS programmers,
we might talk about it if we ever have a table with some
beer on it between us.

They're not *all* wrong.. no ;)

Thanks for removing stuff that exists in the NT kernel as sanity
checks -- the entire MS dev team must be wrong, thanks for correcting
them all :)

Make sure not to ask "anyone can explain these checks? they seem
useless to me" when removing stuff like this.
Best regards,
