Silent crash in Windows -- what can cause it?

I have a multi-threaded Windows app. Occasionally, it crashes silently: the GUI
abruptly disappears, no "blue screen of death" or equivalent. Some of the worker
threads (created in DLLs) continue to run, and the DLLs remain loaded.
This is not a D issue in this case (it's a C++ app), yet I've seen this
behaviour in D in the past.
I know that uncaught Windows Structured Exceptions can cause this type of crash;
calling exit(1) does the same thing.
Is there anything else which can do this?
I've been fighting this bug for days; I've never had so much trouble with a bug
before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
