hello,

  #include <iostream>
  #include <algorithm>
  int main()
  {
   const double d = std::max(5.0, 6.0);
   return 0;
  }
This works fine. <algorithm> is supposed to be included to use the max algorithm.
<algorithm> comes with VisualC++ headers, which intel uses.

The strange thing is that when adding
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
before or after <algorithm>

  #include <iostream>
  #include <algorithm>
  #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
  int main()
  {
   const double d = std::max(5.0, 6.0);
   return 0;
  }

Inclusing of that header seems somehow to damage "max".

Gcc4.1/boost doesn't have this problem.

any ideas,
