If you are using VS 2005 Express, then this is a known bug.  Our
assumption is that the Express compiler has been deliberately crippled
so it can't compete with the professional products.
http://trac.callcc.org/ticket/9

If you are using a professional or enterprise version of VS 2005, this
is new.  In that case, please add your compiler information to this
bug.  You'll need to configure your identity in Trac's "Settings"
menu, as Trac assumes that anonymous contributions are spam.  Also,
that's how you'll know if the status of the bug changes.

MinGW, Cygwin, and VS .NET 2003 are working fine, if you're willing to
use those.
