We have a Delphi application running on a terminal server that keeps generating dump files. For the same PID, it keeps creating dump files with an interval of around 1 second until the process is killed manually. Another weird thing is the name of the dump files:

±_minidump_default_pid_7916_tid_x6590_2012_6_18_13_48_40.dmp
÷_minidump_default_pid_7916_tid_x6590_2012_6_18_13_48_42.dmp
k_minidump_default_pid_7916_tid_x6590_2012_6_18_13_48_39.dmp
Ô_minidump_default_pid_7916_tid_x6590_2012_6_18_13_48_41.dmp
Ž_minidump_default_pid_7916_tid_x6590_2012_6_18_13_48_40.dmp

The dump files aren't telling us much and we would like to have a suggestion where we should start looking.
