In my local working copy, I added:

# define BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS

to visualc.hpp.

While that changed the error messages somewhat, random_demo and random_test
are still failing.

When you say adding the macro "solves the problem", exactly what tests are
fixed? Or did you also make some other fixes too? Did you try other
regression tests?

Thanks,
