Awesome! Glad to hear someone's getting use of it!

Run dbgview (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview) and capture the output from SVDM (messages prefixed with "SBBSVDM" are from SVDM, so filtering on that string can be good). Annotate that debug output with the time of the issue paste into a message or upload it here and hopefully that'll give us more to go on.

That also re-executes SVDM?

That's the latest.
