As a side note, the bug appears for VC7.1 as well, so you should update for this as well.

I don't think I agree. In the regression tests the following test the wide stream functionality and are passing for VC7.1. See the test results for: test_time_wstream_std_config test_time_wstream test_greg_wstream http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32.html You will note that VC7 appears to fail. For VC6 the widestream output tests are disabled so that's why they pass. I've been meaning to change that so it is clear that VC6 does not support this capability. Jeff
