That might be due to the debug info format, but I'm not sure.
MSVC6.0 constantly emits warnings about too long type names
 - especially if you use STL.
(You can silence them with some #pragma statement.)
Of course, those are type names and not identifiers.

... The acknowledged parents of reengineering are Michael Hammer and James
    Champy.  When I say they're the "parents" I don't mean they had sex - and
    I apologize for making you think about it.  I mean they wrote the
    best-selling business book _Reengineering_the_Corporation_, which was
    published in 1993.
    Businesses flocked to reengineering like frat boys to a drunken
    cheerleader.  (This analogy wasn't necessary, but I'm trying to get my
    mind off that Hammer and Champy thing.)
