8510p - Never a problem on XP or Windows 7 with the docking station.
8540w - No problems even with the stupid work image (still stuck on windows xp)

You say there's a video connection in there, too (and USB for mouse and keyboard)? All kinds of opportunity for the OS to freak out when connections get changed. I used to have a macbook that would crash about half the time I disconnected my external display.
