I've now had a chance to look at a few of these, and I've revised my 
impression of what's happening.

I think that *all* of the attempts to create a crashdump are failing. 
Each failure pops up a dialog stating this, but because there are 
already a bunch of "Do you want to create a crashdump" dialogs pending, 
the "Failed" dialogs are sent to the back of the queue. So it appears to 
me as a group of "Do you want" dialogs followed by a group of "Failed" 
dialogs. (I think this because the number of "Failed" dialogs appears to 
be the same as the number of "Do you want" dialogs.)

The "Failed" dialogs each report the same error (error 5). FWIW, the 
Local System account has full write access to the directory in which the 
crashdump is trying to be written. A zero length crashdump file of the 
right name is created.
