I'm sorry. It seems that I've been too quick to assume you used precompiled 
headers or that "/Zm" actually does something other than setting the limit 
for PCH files.

If it was me, I would play with the compiler optimization flags to see which 
one was the culprit, but I'm sure you've already done than and/or you 
probably need those optimizations.
Also, the MSDN page for the C1060 error code lists some workarounds. They 
don't seem like breakthroughs or anything, but the file splitting might work 
(if that's indeed possible to any useful extent with this simple example.)
