hodlminer2018V1 dont have this problem :)

Hodlminer 2018v1 does not try use large pages. Original algo is designed to be used with thread counts 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc. Thead counts 3, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 27, 30, 60, 63 cause segmentation fault (miner crashes). I added a fix that fixed the crashing for me. Those thread counts cause crashes in Linux. There's another place in code where segmentation fault occurs.

Maybe the combination of thread counts 3, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 27, 30, 60, 63 and large page support causes problems in Windows version of Hodlminer??? If you use thread counts e.g. 4 or 8 does hodlminer still crash when large lage support is used?

If your cpu supports e.g. 8 theads and you want to use thread count 6 or 7 to preserve CPU power to other processes you might want to try 8 threads and low priority.

-HOW TO START HODLMINER WITH LOW PRIORITY IN WINDOWS- You can start hodlminer with low priority by creating a .bat file and adding a line: start "Hodlminer" /LOW hodlminer.exe

Valid priority class values are /low, /normal, /high, /realtime, /abovenormal and /belownormal.
