Looks like it ... if Chis is right about the code origin, it could. Just 
took a quick look at xmemory0 header of VS20013  and yeah, it could have 
produced such code after preprocessing. Just how exactly it ended up in 
VS2005 build is anybody's guess.

Removing VS2013 ought to help, but make sure there are no files left 
lingering around. Better yet, do you have a possibility of setting up a 
virtual machine with with just VS2005 installed? Such clean environment 
would eliminate most variables.
