Scan does not always scan the same number of files (a big difference)

I ran a scan which scanned 60,680 files and then crashed (I still have the crashing problem) I rebooted, ran another scan and this only found 51,885 files. I then immediately ran another scan and this time it reached just over 60,000 files and then crashed. This may be related to the crashing bug. I was trying with UAC off to see if that stopped it crashing but it did not.

Scanning as limited user on Vista SP1, CIS 3.8.65951.477

I don’t want to test this too much as I have to turn off my PC whenever it crashes.

I just had this again. Fresh boot run scan as limited user. Scan complete after 47,698 files. Ran a second scan, without any delay, and it is still going after 200,000 files. It stopped half way through “program files” and never looked at anything under windows or user directories.
