Maybe we could do that. But: the crash report dll is invoked when the
main application crashes. That means for the crash report dll: it must
not rely on the memory being clean but heavily corrupted. That's why it
has to not use any heap memory and as less stack memory as possible.
Adding encryption would break the crash report dll in many crash
situations so that it wouldn't work at all.
