An "Access denied" error occurs, apparently in a Windows DLL while
loading Windows DLLs.  It's hard to tell what the reason is, but what
strikes me as weird is that the crash occurs right after this Agnitum
thingy has been injected into the process:

--- Process 17828 loaded C:\PROGRA~1\Agnitum\OUTPOS~1\wl_hook.dll at 10000000
--- Process 17828 unloaded DLL at 10000000

154769 11583429 [waitproc] sshd 8404 pinfo::status_exit: *** STATUS_0xC0000022

Did you try excluding sshd from the checks of that scanner?
