  Ooooh, that gives me a (half-remembered) idea: maybe it happens when the
memory space of the process is crowded enough that the dll has to be loaded at
a different address than usual, meaning it has to be rebased, and there are
some relocs pointing at a read-only section of the DLL, meaning an access
violation when the dll loader tries to adjust them?
