Test-VMHostProfilecompliance crashes powershell when run as a background job

Hi,

I'm having a problem with running Test-VMHostProfilecompliance if it's being run as a job in powershell.

This command works fine:

connect-viserver vctr-01 -Credential $vc_cred;Get-VMHost esxserver01 | Test-VMHostProfileCompliance

However, when I run this command:

start-job -ScriptBlock {param($vc_cred) connect-viserver vctr-01 -Credential $vc_cred;Get-VMHost esxserver01 | Test-VMHostProfileCompliance} -ArgumentList $vc_cred

The command completes but then powershell crashes.

This happens whether the background job is a .ps1 file or scriptblock.

I'm running PowerCLI 5.8 on a Windows 8 computer, also replicated on PowerCLI 5.5 on Windows 2012.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
