boost::function and VC6 compile failure

Hi,

I am using the function classes in VC6 and have hit a problem

The problem is that the compiler can't allocate enough space to build
(The error mesages are at the bottom)
Nomally you use the /ZmXXX compiler flag to make this bigger
but that doesn't work in this case

Has anyone hit this before?
Is there a simple workaround?

In case it makes a differnce the problem arises as follows
I have a template class which has instances of boost::function1 and 2
If I build with only one version of my class everything is fine
when I have more versions (I need about 12 different types) it stops
