Fatal Execution Engine Error
Recently a couple of our programs started crashing when first starting up to run. These same programs were working just fine until a few days ago. Still some of our programs are running just fine.

We are running windows xp and have .Net 3.5 installed. Our programs are targeting .Net 3.5. Basically first I had trouble with SQL management studio express running. It would throw an error on startup then shutdown. After this I tried running some of our programs that access the database and they gave an error that something about accessing corrupt memory (something along those lines). Well I restarted the system after this and SQL management studio was opening up just fine. I tried to run one of our programs and it just crashed with NO error. I checked the system log and these are the two messages I saw:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A097706) (80131506)

and

Faulting application [applicationName], version 1.0.4108.27805, stamp 4d96431b, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.3053, stamp 4889dc18, debug? 0, fault address 0x0001a362.

I found another forum [here][1] that has a hotfix for this but I wanted to find some more information about this issue.

Is this a bug in the .Net framework? Any information about these errors or how to fix would be greatly appreciated.
