C51 v7.20 WinXP Exception

We have a new machine running a new version of the compiler that's having a problem. It's Cx51 v7.20, run from uVision, on top of WinXp Media Center Edition (hey, it was there), plus Cygwin.

When the compiler runs, a couple of "send problem report to Microsoft" exception dialogs pop up when compilation reaches a particular couple of files. It's always the same two files, which may be just a matter of when they're reached in the compilation process, or perhaps something about the files themselves.

There's nothing wrong with the project or these particular files. We have two other machines (running XP Pro pre- and post-SP2 and C51 v7.05 / v7.09) that work fine on exactly the same input (project files and source).

Sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?

    Well, that's not exactly what a "Media Centre" is for, is it...? ;-)

    Do these compilations crash if you just translate them individually, rather than as part of a Project (re-)build?

    Do these machines have exactly the same pathnames as the "Media Centre" machine for everything?
    It was a few versions back, but we did see some bizarre effects where different paths could cause the build to crash or not!
    I seemed to be something to do with the QVCS keyword expansions...
