Really nasty VisualStudio2008 RTM bug

From kb945425

Lines of code may be missing if you compile a solution that has a complex project structure in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The solution may incorrectly compile to Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code that omits certain method calls in the compiled .dll. This problem occurs when there are method calls to classes that participate in an inheritance hierarchy that uses generic constraints.

This is really scary. You don't event notice that your application does not do everything it is supposed to.
