Using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition like BrowserUk, I get some of the warnings he gets ("The POSIX name for this item is deprecated", and "This function or variable may be unsafe") but neither the "conversion from 'size_t' to 'int'" warnings nor the test failures.

I have a newer build of the compiler (15.00.30729.01) but I suspect the problem is related in BrowserUk's 64-bit setup. I run WinXP on a 32-bit machine. If so, the conversion warnings probably point to the problem.

( Or maybe not. cdarke has the problem on a 32-bit setup )
