Yes, that's a known problem with VC++6.0 that Microsoft fixed in 7.0.

Assuming the library gets accepted, I'll try to find a workaround.

I should mention one other known problem with the current 
filesystem/fstream.hpp implementation: any of the inherited member 
functions which return the type of the object need to be overridden to 
return the boost::filesystem::xxx type.  Probably not a problem for most 
code, but does need to be fixed before a final release.

Thanks,
