ShaderBytecode.Compile keeps throwing System.AccessViolationException

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This simple code fails with a System.AccessViolationException:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var c = ShaderBytecode.Compile("float4 main(float4 pos:POSITION) : SV_POSITION { return pos }", "VS_4_0");
    Console.WriteLine("Length: " + c.Data.Length);
}

I've tried a few vertex shader versions, and both the x86 and x64 binaries.

Similar code in the same IDE on the same hardware using native C++ works fine.

Any idea what might be going on? The only cause I can think of is some issue 
with Visual Studio 2012 RC or .NET 4.5.50501.

Forgot to mention, I'm on the Windows 8 Release Candidate.

Is this still occurring? My only guess is that you don't have the particular 
D3DCompiler DLLs on the system.

I can't repro this on Win8 RTM. I'm going to close for now. If the problem 
still occurs, let me know and I'll reopen.

Maybe it's just the RC then. I'm working around it by calling fxc.exe for now. 
Will let you know if it still happens on RTM, but I suspect it won't.

Thanks.
