Alex,
 
After longer testing, the crash still occured, same values for those params from the debugger.
 
vmlitediskmp!vhdRead(void * pBackendData = 0x86f80350, unsigned int64 uOffset = 0xf`df9fce00, void * pvBuf = 0xd06a6000, unsigned int cbRead = 0x1000, unsigned int * pcbActuallyRead = 0x8e22299c)+0x292 (FPO: [Non-Fpo]) (CONV: cdecl)

Great I will commit the fix if your tests are successful.

The fix for the other crash you reported is already committed and
visible in the public svn.
