render slaves crashing a lot

I'm trying out 2.5 with 2009 Design. I'm getting a lot of crashes on my render slaves (unhandled exception errors). It's intermittent, not every time, and different nodes crash at different times. Anyone else experiencing this?

With the one scene I'm playing with it crashes all nodes, including my workstation, but only after it finishes rendering. That one has upwards of 20 VrayScatter objects and many, many polys so maybe it's just a RAM thing, but why crash after? Thankfully I can cancel the error and still save the image.

That version of 3dsmax and Vray you are using? 32 or 64 bit?

64 bit, Max SP3B, the latest build from Vlado, but I had the same problem happening with the full public release of SP3B

Sorry, but public release is only SP3a.
We dont have latest versions and did't test VrayScatter with it.

I am pretty sure the public release is SP3B. The one I had installed prior to two days ago was from the public d-load directory, the one I have installed now is a newer one, but I installed that after running into the crash problems.
