FIX: You experience problems when you use Windows CE 5.0 Platform Builder to build Windows CE projects for the ARM processor (909476)

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Platform Builder to build Windows CE projects for the ARM processor, you may experience one or more of the following problems:

The ARM compiler-generated adjustor thunk for classes that are larger than 1024 bytes may corrupt function parameters that are passed in the R3 register at run time.
The ARM compiler may generate code that causes a Datatype Misalignment exception at run time. This behavior occurs when you access memory by using a BYTE pointer and the BYTE pointer value is an odd number.
