SYMPTOMS
The Help Workshop tool (Hcw.exe) causes a page fault if Hcrtf.exe is run concurrently with no switches or with invalid switches. The error is:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

CAUSE
Hcrtf.exe tries to spawn Hcw.exe when it is given no switches or incorrect command line switches. This causes the failure.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
HCRTF.EXE is generally run from Makefile.bat files that are included as part of your project. These batch files call HCRTF.EXE correctly and do not cause a problem.
