See here for example:

test_tools.cpp contains:
# ifdef BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
namespace std { using ::strcmp; using ::strncmp; using ::strlen; }
# endif

does not the symbol BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE is get defined?

Did you report this to Boost.Build guys? Is there any means to enlarge this
limit?

I am compiling on Win2k and WinXP using bjam and tools for cygwin+gcc,
Borland command line compiler, msvc with native stl, msvc with stlport.
I never really tested on win98. I thought it's already forgotten by now. At
least for reallife usage.
