Hi,
I just upgrade my visual studio 8 install to SP1 and now I am unable
to compile a simple unit test.  The compilation error I am getting is:

cl /EHsc /W3 /Wp64 /RTCsu /Gm /Ob0 /Od /MTd /TP /DFUSE_DB_WITH_MFC
/DWIN32 /D_DEBUG /D_MBCS /IY:\sys\lib\boost_1_34_1\include /Idb\src /c
db\test\fuse_db-tests.cpp
/Fobuild-db-vc80-mt-sgd\test\fuse_db-tests.obj /Zi
/Fdbuild-db-vc80-mt-sgd\test\fuse_db-tests.obj.pdb

fuse_db-tests.cpp
In fuse_db_tests.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\iterator(730) :
error C2953: 'stdext::checked_array_iterator' : class template has
already been defined
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\INCLUDE\xutility(3220) : see declaration of
'stdext::checked_array_iterator'

When I compile with /showIncludes I see that the xutility header is included by:

Note: including file:     Y:\sys\lib\boost_1_34_1\include\boost/shared_ptr.hpp
Note: including file:      Y:\sys\lib\boost_1_34_1\include\boost/config.hpp
Note: including file:      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\INCLUDE\memory
Note: including file:       C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\INCLUDE\iterator

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Regards,
Sebastian
