Comment 1

[chris hofmann]

the crashes with this particular signature and stack seem to happen within 40 seconds of startup.

Comment 2

[timeless]

 	EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION  	0x30

this is a null pointer crash which makes sense. i'll try to look into it if no one else does...

Looks like duplicate as bug 521849, but this one is specific to windows.  However I'm not sure if this is also FIPS related.

We should try to take the quick fix from that bug on m-c.
