SYMPTOMS
When you build a project that generates lots of text in the Output window in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the IDE stops responding (hangs).

Note This problem is more likely to occur when you select certain project options that generate lots of text in the Output window. For example, this problem is more likely to occur when you select Enable Code Analysis for C/C++.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Visual Studio 2005 code reads past the end of a string buffer. This causes an access violation in the Msenv.dll file.
