Sporadic Faulting application cscript.exe, faulting module ntdll.d   

Faulting application cscript.exe, version 5.7.0.16535, faulting module 
ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.3959, fault address 0x000417af.

We do a lot of vbscripting, lots of reading files and writing files, 
creating html reports, etc. We have some of our own COM objects that we wrote 
for data access to retrieve data for the reports.

As of late, about a month or two ago, our scripts started crashing for no 
apparent reason and would throw the above error in the event log. This is 
sporadic- some days the scripts will execute to completion, but other days it 
takes a good four or five tries before they will execute to completion.  
After adding several debugging lines and researching which file should be 
getting written to, I have found that it seems to crash while a .ReadLine or 
.WriteLine method.

Does anyone have at least a suggestion on what we can do to help prevent 
these crashes or any other troubleshooting advice?

Also any input on what the ntdll.dll is/does may be beneficial in helping 
troubleshoot.
