Another "What the F**K" moment

I tried compiling my application just now and got this error message from the compiler:

Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...
error CS0583: Internal Compiler Error (0xc0000005 at address 77FCD43E): likely culprit is 'PARSE'.
 
An internal error has occurred in the compiler. To work around this problem, try simplifying or 
changing the program near the locations listed below. Locations at the top of the list are closer 
to the point at which the internal error occurred.
 
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Intra\Hierarchy.aspx.cs: error CS0586: Internal Compiler Error: stage 'PARSE'
error CS0587: Internal Compiler Error: stage 'PARSE'
error CS0587: Internal Compiler Error: stage 'BEGIN'
 

Excuse me?!?!?! The last time I ever received errors like this was in 1996, while building applications for good-old MS-Dos. The Microsoft C compiler in some cases could not parse the code and presented you with a "Too complex" error. The only way around this was to re-order the code. But in the .Net age I never came across this error. Until now that is.

And what's even stranger is that a rebuild of the app solved the problem. I'm lost. Any one out there has any experience with this error?
