[MC++] Internal Compiler Error with /Ox

I am not sure if this is related to my previous thread
("NullReferenceException with value struct") so I am starting a new
thread.

I saw in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmex/html/vclrfrestrictionsofmanagedtypes.asp

they mention that value types cannot contain pointers to other managed
types. In my __value struct, I had an array of other __value objects,
so I changed it to an unmanaged array. Now, when I compile using /Ox
for full optimization, I get an Internal Compiler Error.

Can anybody propose a workaround? Upgrading to VS 2005 is not an option
at the time.
