I tried compiling your example on VC8SP1, with the result being that the
compiler (cl.exe) swallowed up almost 2 gigabytes of virtual memory and then
fell over with the error you mention.
The same code on VC9 builds quickly with no problems.
Not a great deal of help i'm afraid - looks like the compiler is getting stuck
in a loop or something?
