I've tested the following program (VC8.0):

#include <streambuf>
#include <limits>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
        using namespace std;
        
        cout << numeric_limits<streamsize>::max() << endl;
}

compiled with STLPort as:

        D:\projects\STLport-5.1.7
        $ cl test.cpp /I stlport /link /libpath:lib

resulted in:

        $ test
        9223372036854775807

While just a normal compilation:

        $ cl /EHsc test.cpp

resulted in:

        $ test
        2147483647

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Cristian.
