Philippe, first check if your VS6 is patched to service pack4. VS6 is
known to be a terrible compiler with STL related issues. Your best bet
is to use a better compiler such as MingW, GCC/G++, Borland C++ (free),
or latest MS compilers express edition (free) on Windows. 

It could also be a coding issue of your c++ application, try to
explicitly quantify every occurance of std::map instead of 'using
namespace std'. 'using namespace std' simply pulls in all the names in
std namespace and pollutes names in the global scope.
