I've recently been trying to port some SystemC code that I've been
writing from g++ to MSVC. While most of my code is working fine, I am
getting one strange behavior that I cannot explain. I've boiled a more
complicated program that shows the behavior down to the trivial hello
world-style example that follows:

#include <fstream> 
#include <iostream> 
#include "systemc.h" 

sc_clock sysClock; 

void main() { 

cout << "Hello, world!" << endl; 
// exit(0); 
} 

When compiled as-is and run, it prints out the message, and then
follows it with a diagnostic message stating "File size limit
exceeded." When the exit() statement is uncommented (or a return from
main is used), the message does not appear. I cannot determine what
the source of this message is, nor how to avoid it in the general
case. Compiling and running the same code under g++ works fine.

My compilation command lines are shown below. Creating the .exe using
one of the example .dsw files provided with the release (swapping my
source for the examples) produces a slightly different message, but
similarly confusing:

Stopped (user) (core dumped) 

Does anyone know what's causing either of these messages? 

Thanks, 
-Brad
