VC++ pdb error

Hi,
I am finding that VC++ 6.0 (with Service Pack VS6SP6 ) error gives me
an error when pdb file is > 64 MB. Here is the exact error message. The OS
is Win 2k
"
Linking...
Creating library .\Objects/abcapp_exe.lib and object
..\Objects/abcapp_exe.exp
LINK : fatal error LNK1201: error writing to program database
"C:\abc\build\abcapp\abcapp\winnt\x86\abcapp_exe_d\ABC\Debug\Objects\abcapp_
exe.pdb"; check for insufficient disk space
Error executing link.exe.
"

Thanks in Advance

It seems to be a problem associated with your OS and not with C++
perse. You can post your problem in comp.os.ms-windows.

Found info on Microsoft site which says there is actually limit of 64MB for
pdb file in VC++ 6.0 and VC++ 5.0. Here is a quote from microsoft wesite.

"There is a limit of 4096 modules (.obj files) in a PDB file. The file also
has a total size limit of approximately 64 MB. " in PRB: C2471 or LNK1140
Error with PDB File Limits.
