This is probably not a problem with TC.

Exception C0000006 is EXCEPTION_IN_PAGE_ERROR or STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR. This means that the Total Commander tried to read a memory, but reading a memory page failed. In particular, this may be a problem with reading or writing swap file. More info here:

it IS a TC BUG I had some other PRGs open and TC didnt even had the focus and was the only App to crash so YES its a TC bug....

It may be exactly as you wrote and it still may be not a TC problem:

when we use some application in foreground and it needs more memory, operating system moves RAM contents of background applications (TC in this example) to the swap file to make more free RAM memory. If background application wants to perform some operation, its memory must be loaded back from the swap file to the RAM (for example when TC got information that folder contents changed - in particular because we saved some file in our foreground application!). If this loading from the swap file to the RAM fails, there will be an C0000006 exception. Please check your system log if there are some HDD problems or swap file problems.

It looks like the following was happening:
TC was getting the CD insert notification, but apparently part of its code wasn't in memory, and swaping it back in failed due to an out of memory situation or failed access to the totalcmd.exe file.
