Tenable worked with me offline to test several new versions.  Due to some
technical issues on my side it took much longer than it should have, but
the bottom line is that version 1.12 (available in the feed) cleared up
all of the crashing I was having.  With older versions svchost.exe would
crash in 3-4 iterations, with version 1.12 I ran 800 tests without a
crash.  I am going to recommend we enable the plugin campus wide and
test our 80,000+ machines with it.  Should be fun times!

Thanks for all the help!
