{{{
The build process doesn't complete on my windows 2008 server machine. I run activastate perl 5.10 and visual studio 2008 team system edition Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM.
I get a crash in the configure step in test_7304 ( determine JIT capability) as it seems that some executbale is being killed by the DEP ( Data Execution Prevention ) facility provided in windows 2008.

Nmake then manages to buid the parrot executable but doesn't complete correctly; I attach hereafter the last lines of the build log:
