Whenever this happens I see the following in the Windows Event Viewer,
Application Log:

(From a Windows command prompt run eventvwr.msc or Start, All Programs,
Administrative Tools, Event Viewer)

Event Type:     Error
Event Source:   Application Error
Event Category: None
Event ID:       1000
Date:           11/5/2007
Time:           10:08:51 PM
User:           N/A
Computer:       BOBX40
Description:
Faulting application wt.exe, version 3.0.0.0, faulting module
ntdll .dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00018fea.

Can others confirm they find the same event in their Windows Application
Logs?

A Google search on ntdll.dll 0x00018fea returns a ton of hits on other
applications that randomly fail with this same symptom.

The address appears to correspond to entry point RtlpWaitForCriticalSection in
NTDLL.DLL.

Searching for that Entry Point name also returns a bunch of hits.  This one
looks interesting:

Were you able to open the minidump (coredump) sent Nov. 22nd with Visual
Studio .net to get a call trace?

Maybe this will help localize the issue to some possible causes.  Memory
leak or memory corruption seems to be one possible cause.
