NASTY MSVC bug w/type_traits - fix?

Hi -

The following construct produces a ream of errors. It's the extern "C" part
that does it. Does anyone have any ideas about how we could fix it in
type_traits?

#include <boost/type_traits/object_traits.hpp>
struct simple
{
    char* s;
};

extern "C" void f()
{
    bool x = boost::is_pointer<simple>::value;
}

TIA,
Dave
