I think that is a highly unlikely scenario. DPScan is always located
at the same logical address, no matter when it was started. It is hard
to image how memory corruption of a physical address could happen, and
if it did, its effects would be far more random. It would never affect
DPScan so reliably after boot on many machines. There is not enough
data to jump to any conclusions yet.
