No it works just fine with VC6 onwards.  I've never seen or heard of errors 
like that before, but nothing surprises me with that compiler.

Oh wait, this is patched VC6 isn't it?  Not some original unpatched install 
straight off the CD?  There are all kinds of bugs fixed in the various 
service releases.

Just thinking out loud,
