Thanks for the reply, Stefan. I sure do appreciate it.

I looked through the list of issues that you cited and nothing there
looks familiar.

Is there a specific method that I should be undertaking to obtain a
crash dump file? I have started with the steps described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/3s68z0b3.aspx#BKMK_Attach_to_a_running_process
.

As soon as I attach to the running process, which is an instance of the
Update dialog (after updating the working copy successfully), and then
press "OK" to exit the dialog, the debugger complains:

Unhandled exception at 0x000007FC05A75521 (ntdll.dll) in
TortoiseProc.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location
0x000000006D724F3F.

I click "Continue" but this dialog keeps coming up each time, indefinitely.

The call stack looks like this (if it is at all helpful):

         bdmpega64.acm!00000001800029c4() Unknown

I run a "pretty tight ship" (which, I know, doesn't hold much water),
and Avast finds no evidence of a virus on the machine.

Is there a link/resource to which you could point me that contains
detailed instructions for obtaining exactly the type of dump file that
you require for analysis?

Thanks again for your willingness to look into this.
