Hi Ted:

The first issue, http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualS...edbackID=98890, is currently being worked on by one of the developers on the optimizier. The second issue, http://connect.microsoft.com/Visual...edbackID=101419, has been resolved as a duplicate as the issue was also opened by by one of our testers (I think that this issue started out on the MSDN forums). This bug has been fixed.

As we're still in the process of closing down SP1 we haven't started the planning for SP2 so at the moment I can't say if SP2 will appear before or after the next release of Visual C++. We definitely do look very carefully at each bug but, strange as it may seem, we don't have unlimited resources on the Visual C++ compiler team so we can't fix every bug - so instead we try to focus on those bugs which block development and/or have high impact.
