A workaround for the problem above has been issued - but it involves re-compiling to produce a new .dll, a significant hassle. My view is that this is not good enough - the very least is issue of a new .dll. But an SP1 would be better - there seem to be number of things they have fixed. I have expressed this view to their forum (and I am not alone!). The response to the original report on 7.1 loopback was http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=7 bf2f26d-171f-41fe-be05-4169a54eef9e http://tinyurl.com/mpk72 essentially "it's a feature" - but then it was fixed in 8.0! So don't hold your breath on this - VS 2008?? I suspect that the Fair Dinkumware version may be corrected already - would anyone like to test?
