Hum... Interesting... Thanks for letting me know.

There is also another fix that might help some Boost users:

16) To improve compatibility with source code originally developed for 
other compilers, bcc now supports an alternative syntax for specifying 
multiple function declaration modifiers. For example, to declare a function 
as both exported and naked, either of the following declarations can be 
used: __declspec(dllexport, naked) void MyFunction(); // Standard BCC 
syntax - OR - __declspec(dllexport) __declspec(naked) void MyFunction(); // 
Alternate syntax

But I really don't want to change compilers in the midst of a release 
runup. So I've stuck a note on my calendar for March 12th to install the 
patch.

If anyone thinks this is a problem, let me know.

Thanks,
