Bluescreen when sharing directory symbolic link

Hi,

I just ran into following problem and can not understand why this is happening, maybe you can help... here the steps to reproduce the error:

On Server Alpha (2012 R2) a folder is shared \\ Alpha\shareA with NTFS and share permissions set to full for everyone.
On Server Bravo (2012 R2) I enabled remote to remote directory symbolic links with: 'fsutil behavior set symlinkevaluation r2r:1'.
Then I created a directory symbolic link testB to the shareA on Server Alpha like so: 'mklink /d testB \\ Alpha\shareA

Here's the critical step:
Change the security settings of testB to grant everyone full access and then share (advanced sharing) the directory symbolic link (security is everyone full again). At the latest when applying the settings, the server will crash.

The level of the permission settings (share and NTFS) don't seem to be important after some tests.
When sharing the link from command line (net share tetstB=Drive:\Path\testB /grant:everyone,full), everything works.
If the settings are suddenly working, restart the server and they'll fail again.
