Just a note about this scenario. During a client-side penetration test
I did last week I noticed that the exploit doesn't work properly. It
seems there's a huge request of heap memory that Windows isn't
able to satisfy thus leading to IE crash. Thus I tried modifying the
exploit this way 

-    while($memblock.length+$slidesize<0x40000)
+  while($memblock.length+$slidesize<0x32000)

and it seems it works much more reliably even in other scenarios I'm
testing in these days.

Regards,
