RenGuard has a few problems with its code that could cause instability and ultimately a buffer overflow - leading to a desktop crash or a full memory dump depending on the Operating System and other small details.

It's not really something you can overcome unless you:
(1) Reinstall RenGuard (only if a bad installation was the problem
(2) Get more memory (to try to help your system fight the memory leaks)
(3) Wait for BHS to release a patch/update that fixes the memory leak.

I know this is the problem because I deal with these sorts of things for a living and I did a little investigating when I started getting more and more buffer overflows in the RenGuard client program.

I hope this helps.
