Hi,

I was out of the office on vacation, hence the delay in replying. I would
like to spend a little time investigating the issue here, as this should
function in all build configurations. I am not sure we have any Windows
dashboards building RelWithDebInfo, but I can test this locally and perhaps
add a dashboard submission.

Mixing Release and Debug builds will never end well on Windows, and it is
probably a good thing to have this fail early as you MS change things in
the STL and C++ runtime quite a bit. The reason this happens it because of
the changes the MS compilers make to things like STL strings in the two
build configurations - I will let the Windows experts comment further on
this (but that is my understanding).
