[CMake] VC2010 Express crashing

[David Cole]

I'm sorry if that sounded flippant... but I'm 100% serious. I used to
work there, and they take the crash reports very seriously, and they
actually do get the majority of them fixed eventually. But if you
don't send them in, then they don't know about them.

Also: I've simply never heard this complaint before, so I'd be
surprised if it was CMake's fault.

Having said all of this, though, please do send us steps so that we
can reproduce the problem, or possibly, figure out if there's
something wrong with the generated files that can be changed. If we
can incorporate a work-around into CMake, then we are happy to do so.
We have work-arounds in there for far less serious bugs than
complete/100% reproducible crashing bugs...


Thanks,
David
