Nope; apparently it was Visual C++ suddenly deciding to mix up the scope
of identifier names with that of typedef names.  ANSI C doesn't allow this;
expect another service pack.

My suspicion about Microsoft's enchroachment on the namespace was quite
reasonable, considering your report and the fact that they have done this
before.
