Internal error during IncrCalcPtrs - does not repeat when I run the code a second time

Question

The project containing the code has all the MSVS2008 default settings.

Consider the following code, in which I will familiarize myself with the various STL suggestions:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <numeric>

using namespace std;


template <class T> void print(const vector<T>& l)
{  // A generic print function for vectors
    cout << endl << "PV Size of vector is " << l.size() << "\n[";
    for(int i = 0; i < l.size(); i++)
    {
        cout<<l[i]<<",";
    }
    cout << "]\n";
}


int main()
{
    vector<double> vec1(4, 2.0);
    vector<double> vec2(4, 4.0);
    double init = 0.0;
    double summation = accumulate(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), init);
    cout<<"Summation = "<<summation<<", init is "<<init<<endl;

    double ip = inner_product(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), vec2.begin(), init);
    cout<<"ip = "<<ip<<", init is "<<init<<endl;

    int size = 6;
    int seed_value = 2;
    vector<int> vec3(size, seed_value);
    vector<int> result(size);
    partial_sum(vec3.begin(), vec3.end(), result.begin());
    cout<<"The partial sum of vec3 is ";
    print(vec3);

    int sz = 10;
    int value = 2;
    vector<int> vec4(sz);
    for(int it = 0; it < vec4.size(); it++){
        vec4[it] = value;
        value++;
    }
    vector<int> result2(vec4.size());
    adjacent_difference(vec4.begin(), vec4.end(), result2.begin());
    cout<<"Adjacent differenec of vec4 is ";
    print(vec4);

    return(0);
}

The first time I try to run this (under Windows 7, Visual Studio 2008), I get the following error:

c:\programming\numeric_algorithms_on_vectors.cpp(86) : warning C4018: '<' : signed/unsigned mismatch

c:\programming\numeric_algorithms_on_vectors.cpp(37) : warning C4018: '<' : signed/unsigned mismatch

        with

            _Ty=int

However, after clicking on windows that tell me that my code did not compile / work correctly, when I debug the same code again without any code changes, the program works. Is there a reason the code will not compile / link / run the first time, but will work fine the next time?
