Fired up the debugger (VS2008) and these are the interesting bits of
the stack:

The code in question is:
TortoiseShell/ShellExt.cpp:80: g_exts.erase(this);
I *think* the crash is due to lack of protection against parallel
modification by different threads. Basically multiple erase() are
executed in parallel and the first erase modifies the list while the
others still run and then operate on outdated data.
The whole g_exts stuff is actually a no-op and can be omitted it
seems.
If not and tracking the instances in g_exsts is indeed required for
some reason then put in some critical section or mutex and be done.

I guess this does not surface in 32bit builds because, IIRC, the 32bit
explorer will not use multiple threads for shell extensions, while the
64bit actually does (at least on XP x64) among other differences.

Another problem, but likely unrelated:
Looking at AddRef/Release shows that the ref counters are modified in
a non-atomic way. Better use InterlockedIncrement/
InterlockedDecrement.
