periodic crashes in cl.exe, kernelbase.dll

Question

I frequently have the following crash from cl.exe. This happens both when compiling and running other a help command on cl. This is happening on Windows Server 2008, but I think this happens sometimes on Windows XP also. This is occurring very frequently within Jenkins when when running waf configure.

I haven't been able to find anything online to fix this problem, although there are mentions of kernelbase.dll crashing in other programs.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to avoid this problem?

Thanks

This seems to be an issue with updated dlls. I would also suggest compiling your program outside of Jenkins just to be sure that it is not an issue with Jenkins (either paths, or anything else).
