Faulting application splunkd.exe on Win2003 x86 Servers

[ccit]

I have installed Splunk as a forwarder/light forwarder on a few of our Win2003 x86 servers as a test and am receiving around 5 application errors each day as follows:

Any idea's as to what's going on? It seems ok on workstations (XP), just some severs forwarding event logs and running Windows App to forward WMI info on cpu, disk, processes & Net.

Please verify if there is any scheduled AV scans running in these machines, if they are then its probable that your scheduled AV scans may be breaking splunk process, I had the same issue with windows servers ( its also mentioned in the release document)
