BSOD blamed on nlemsql.sys

We have Server 2003 crashing every day or so, saying:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E 0xC00000005,0xF74FB472,0xB8681AEC,0x0000
0000
*** nlemsql.sys - Address F74FB472 base at F74F7000, DateStamp 3eca40a0
There are only two references to nlemsql on Google, neither of which are
related to a crash.
We're trying to narrow down what happens just before this, but haven't
managed to get any useful information yet.
It's a stab in the dark, but: anyone seen this before?
Rikthat's the good ole KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, an error which the os
did not know how to handle. These are almost always hardware compatibility
issues, you need a firmware or driver update. The question is which one, it
looks like the driver for nlemsql.sys. That driver is not part of SQL
Server. Search your system looking for it and when you find it right click
on it and look at properties, and then the version tab. There should be a
clue as to what this driver is for, or who made it somewhere here. You can
also open it in text pad looking for clues. Another thing you can do is to
check the directory it is in which occasionally well tell you something.
this file is not part of SQL 2000 or SQl 2005.
I would also contact your vendor of the server.
