Hi, Coincidentally, I just noticed this VC8 warning when compiling the Boost.Python tests (using the current boost svn trunk):

C:\home\rwgk\hot\boost\boost/bind.hpp(1639) : warning C4180: qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored

This warning is caused by an overload resolution bug in VC8 that cannot be worked around and will probably not be fixed by MS in the VC8 line. The problematic overload is only instantiated and never called, and the code works correctly.
