Visual Studio Express 2008 causes Bluescreen during compile with 2 CPUs

[Two]

Rebuilding a project with Visual Studio Express 2008 (C++) inside a VM that uses 2 CPUs causes the Guest to crash with a bluescreen with the following information: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" [...] "STOP 0x0000000A (0xC03A4C74, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E8AD5)

Running the same guest with only 1 CPU activated causes no kind of errors.

Host: Lenovo ThinkPad T400 (with Intel dual core) running Windows XP 32

Guest: Windows XP 32 (installed from scratch with 3.0.2 with 2 CPUs enabled, including all the latest Windows updates) with the following settings:

System Base Memory: 768 MB Processor(s): 2 VT-x/AMD-V: Enabled Nested Paging: Enabled

Display Video Memory: 16 MB 3D Acceleration: Disabled Remote Display Server: Disabled Hard Disks IDE Primary Master: WinDev-3.vdi (Normal, 30.00 GB) (PIIX4 with SATA enabled) CD/DVD-ROM Not mounted

The issue occured with 3.0.4. In 3.0.2 only the compiler itself randomly crashed.
