    I'm not sure how you can conclude that the vendor component is not at fault
    here just because it works some of the time. These types of errors tend to
    be hard to track down and there might be a combination of symptoms that
    causes the problem.

    Changing to a release build might help with the problem (l've seen that
    before personally), but that does not bode well that the problem is solved.
    Still, it is worth a shot.

    If stack SIZE was an issue, you would probably have gotten a
    StackOverflowException like you get from infinite recursion and such. I'm
    still betting on some kind of corruption that happened due to some unmanaged
    code doing something to memory that it should not have.

    The classic way to debug this would be to use a lower level debugger like
    windbg with the SOS extension loaded, but there is steep learning curve
    there if you are not already skilled. I can't be of any assistance with
    that. You might consider posting on the dotnet.framework.clr newsgroup to
    see if they have any suggestions as a lot of the more hard core CLR guys
    hang out there.

    Best of luck,
