Using a dynamic proxy in Putty, I was encountering an issue where Putty would crash in Windows 10. I got an error in the Application event log:
Faulting application name: putty.exe, version: 0.63.0.0, time stamp: 0x52012e86
Faulting module name: putty.exe, version: 0.63.0.0, time stamp: 0x52012e86
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0001846e
Faulting process id: 0x3f4
[snipped]
Also looking at the System event log, I saw a lot of these (Event ID 140, Source NTFS):
The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: ??, DeviceName: \Device\ImDisk0.
(The device has been removed.)
This turned out to be an issue with Veracrypt. I had the entire system drive encrypted. After decrypting it, the errors are gone and everything is working again (for now). Also, the system is running on VMware ESXi 6.0.

dllhost.exe - High CPU Usage
I was getting high CPU usage from dllhost.exe recently. I noticed it when my laptop's battery started draining unusually quickly. After trying several things, I logged on as a different user, and the problem went away. So I backed up my documents and settings, blew away my profile, and logged back in. Problem solved.
Or so I thought. After restoring all of my documents, the problem came back.
I discovered it was Windows, trying to index a corrupted video file that was on my desktop. I deleted the corrupted video file, and my CPU usage returned to normal.

- Fixed a few bugs with string processing
- Added the -i option to read known IP addresses
- Used binary search on vendor lookups to improve performance
- Fixed bugs introduced in new code with onlyAddNew and onlyAddOld
- Output now sorted by power level by default
