Anders, It is somewhat relevant to OSG too, in that linking against osgDB and other code that uses <fstream> will cause similar 'multiple-defined' linker errors. This problem seems to be only with MSVC2010, the OS doesn't seem to matter (I use XP). osgDB is affected because of osgDB::fstream, which subclasses from std::fstream. The current workaround is to allow multiple symbols when linking. I would be interested in finding a better solution to this problem...
