I tried to carefully follow the suggestions on the compiler help page 
for ICE's in P2:

Turn off all optimizations (/O...) until the error goes away, then turn 
each one on. So I arrived at:
<inlining>off
This gives a clean compile. So it should be sufficient for this compiler 
to run the tests with this option.

The page further suggest to find the function where the fault actually 
is triggered and disable the optimization by guarding with pragmas.

I don't know if it is worth the effort. Since the compiler can be 
expected to be retired after RC_1_34_0 release. Yes?

But what, if the error is not related to the test library? Would users 
compiling <variant>release be affected too?

Another thing I noticed: The test library is built with 
<asynch-exceptions>on while every other is with synch exceptions (/EHs). 
I do not know about this issue to tell if it is a problem.
