That's a known bug in VC++6. There are lots of them. Take a look at:

http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/details/msbugs.html

That's because there is no range constructor implemented in VC++6.

I have to mention a recommendation that I had posted before:

Don't count on VC++6. This nasty C++ implementation is not 
Standard-compliant. Change your implementation as soon as possible. If
you need developery tools, consider BCB6 that is much more
Standard-compliant. Nothing in VC++6 is reliable!

BTW, VC++7.1 is so far reported to be Standard-compliant, but it takes
time to test it really as it should.

Regards,
--Hossein

Or better, the theory is right.

Thanks, that is VERY useful.

VC++ is what we use at work you see, but I believe we're using to .NET soon. 
I'll look for the name of the book when I get to work (it's a 2000 book).
