Windows Vista has introduced a brilliant new feature in the name of security (sic!) which causes the address space of processes to be randomly assigned. This caused a latent bug to surface, causing random crashes and taskbar freezes. Another latent bug caused Vista to silently kill the process instead of showing it's exception dialog. In the end a rather major edit with lots of cleanup as a result.
