[boost] Problem using boost::filesystem with VC++ 6.0 (SP 5)

From: Mark Coletti (mcoletti_at_[hidden])

I've uninstalled VC++ 6 and reinstalled it and reapplied SP 5.
However the following program:

#include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp>

namespace fs = boost::filesystem;

int
main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    fs::ofstream foo("bar.txt");

    return 0;
}

Yields:

Anyone else out there with a VC++ 6.0(SP5) set-up able to reproduce
this error?
