This does appear to be a bug in VC++ 6.0 as the following will
reproduce it:

namespace A {
    class foo
    {
        public:
            typedef std::map <int, std::string> t_mapStr;

            t_mapStr m_mapStr;
    }; /* end class foo */

} /* end namespace A */

namespace B {
    class foo : public A::foo
    {
        public:
            int m_y;
    }; /* end class foo */
 
} /* end namespace B */

A::foo l_fooA_1;
A::foo l_fooA_2;
B::foo l_fooB_1;
B::foo l_fooB_2;

// ok
l_fooA_1 = l_fooA_2;

// stack overflow
l_fooB_1 = l_fooB_2;
