When I experience something like that, I definately continue searching until I
now for sure _where_ the compiler chokes. Most of the times, I find it is my
program that has a bug. A bug that shows up only in one compiler and only with
certain settings. Are you sure you don't have a bug? My chess program is very
standard compliant, and is routinely being compiled on many different compilers
on many different platforms, and it has no problems with MSVC 6. MSVC 6 is a
much better compiler than 5. And 7 (.NET) is much better than MSVC 6.
