I had it happen installing the patch, not during shutdown.  No idea.

Had the same error during install and game would not run after.
Reboot cured it.

I am having occasional CTDs from a Ddhelp error.  A reboot fixes the problem.  No idea what/why though.

Are you using a beta DirectX?  If so, it has expired, and you need to update it, or get the lastest DirectX.

I get the same thing with a non-beta DX8.1. try to restart AH, get "ERROR-abnormal program termination" message... only a reboot fixes it.

yep exactly the same here, first started with the V1.11 update and occured again when applying the patch 1.
Gives a C++ runtime error from memory.
Game will not start however a reboot cures it and runs ok everytime afterwards.
