This is a partial debugger trace of an extremely popular and widespread application, used in commercial software by thousands of developers at hundreds of companies including Microsoft. This was happening when the program was functioning normally.

I had an A/V problem with this utility that I was trying to debug - this was made basically impossible by the fact that the program was continuing after dozens of other access violations. People, you really are not supposed to do this. I won’t say what application this is, but I will say that I am not going to be using it in the future.
