I've been able to narrow things down some. If I just have these two 
lines:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <process.h>

I am able to repro the error w/ a simple bcc32 command line compile. 
That's w/ stlport in the include path. If I remove it, the errors go 
away. If there are any stlport experts, I'm curious as to how to 
correctly resolve this. I'm going to post a message on that forum.

Thanks,
