I'm using VS2008 SP1 - don't know if this would have happened before I applied SP1 as I never tried it before yesterday. I attempted to debug a fairly simple XSLT file using VS2008 SP1 and got this crash from VS2008 SP1:
Unexpected error encountered. It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible.
Error: Unspecified error
File: vsee\pkgs\vssprovider\sccprj.cpp
I wouldn't be surprised at all. In my experience MS software is usually pretty good, but VS 2008 is just a really buggy app, I have only been using it everyday for about a month and a half and it has crashed on me 14 times (I started keeping track after 3) and I have submitted 2 bugs to be fixed, with another one I still need to submit. Its just terrible how unstable it still is.
We have reproduced this issue and will fix it in the next release of Visual Studio.

I have this problem too. With or without SP1 but it doesn't crash VS and it still displays the resultant htm file once I okay the error.
I don't think it's related to visual source safe as I'm not using this. I do have the Team Explorer plug in so it might be something related to that.
Yes, sounds so. To use it, I had to disable VSS temporarily each time by setting Tools, Options, Source Control, Plug-in selection, Current source control plug-in to "None".
The same problem, after the stylesheet finishes processing, I get Unspecified error (and eveything seems ok after closing the error message box). Selecting source control plugin to "None" in VS options gets rid of the problem.
Here's the link to Microsoft's bug and "fix" report, which includes info on the work around (disabling your source control plugin): VS2008 sp1 - XSLT Debugging Error in sccprj.cpp
