What version of the compiler?  

It is getting confused with a schema type while trying to build a debug stack machine routine to tell the debugger how to determine the bounds/size of some array/record.

There probably isn't a good workaround other than stop using /DEBUG.

If you can send me a reproducer, I'll add it to my list on the VSI side.
