Build Cancel and Linker Crash

[kfsone]

We have to recurring issues with the Intel C++ Compiler for Windows 7 which were present in 11.x and are still present now we have upgraded to 12. We're using VS9.

1- Build Cancel:

When you cancel a build, mpcom and icl.exe continue running. If you forget this or fail to notice, e.g. to correct a quick glaring typo infront of you, very strange things happen starting with an error regarding the PCH.

2- Linker Crash:

This happens to us about 1 time in 3 when building our main source project.

The work around is just to Build -> Project -> Build only {ProjectName} and linking completes happily.

Actually, happens to us on a number of different projects it seems.

I've seen this and it's a VC bug. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948127. Installing VS2008 SP1 solves the issue.
