Looks like Jon was 100% correct.  For me it appears to have been Symantec Endpoint Protection causing the problem.  Updated / added exception and the problem has resolved.

Thanks!

Thanks.

The injected sysfer.dll belongs to "Symantec Endpoint Protection"

See [1] for a previous incident.  As discussed there, I suggest you try updating SEP, or creating an exception for XWin.
