Ram,

Are you building GDAL itself with visual studio 2008 and similar compiler
options as used for your plugin?

It has been my experience that it is not safe to build plugins with
significantly different compiler version or flags.  Also, I found that
Vista and Win7 are much more sensitive to the problems caused by mixing
versions compared to WinXP.

Best regards,
