Did you see my earlier reply?  As I said, this passes regression tests on VC8 
so I believe it has to be an environmental issue somehow...

I have no idea what's wrong here and I'm not aware of any issues on vc8.  In
fact, it passes regression tests for vc8.  The only thing I can think is a
busted include path, but then I don't know why the second_clock would work.

The library really isn't needed much....so even if this didn't work it
wouldn't cause your symptoms.

Sorry, that's not really much help.
