I just spend 2+ hours installing a complete VS2008 Pro setup + SP1 + latest updates on a fresh Win7 VM. Still didn't crash for me. Then I realized that I'm an idiot: I've always been trying to build blead. When I tried building maint-5.12 the problem did happen. And it turns out I can even repro it with the very first setup I tried (using the bundled VS 2008 compilers included in the Windows 7 SDK). Unfortunately I'm out of time to actually look into it tonight now. Still, progress... Cheers, -JanThread Previous
