It really sounds like a Microsoft bug: The compiler should be doing proper locking. If it isn't, that compiler isn't going to work very well with SMP machines, no matter which program invokes it.

I know there have been some fairly evil hacks done to make it work in the past. Search the archive. But I guess there's a proper solution at Microsoft somewhere - surely the developers there have sexy SMP machines they want to use?
