This is only a problem when you are using the VC compiler from the Windows 2003 R2 Platform SDK. It is a variant of VS2005, but links against MSVCRT.dll instead of MSVCR80.dll. MSVCRT.dll does not contain the code necessary for the /GS buffer overrun protection new to VS2005, so it has to be linked into the generated executables statically. I guess you probably already knew this, but wanted to state it explicitly for the list archives.
