pdb file oversize

[Jacky Leung]

In my project, once the pdb file increases up to 65kB, my project cannot be linked successfully. VC Shows that LINK : fatal error LNK1201: error writing to program database "my_project.pdb"; check for insufficient disk space. Of coz, my hard disk has enough disk space (>1GB). I have checked MSDN, it says that PDB file can be up to 2GB. I don't know why the fact is not the same. Do I misunderstand the meaning in MSDB?
I am trying to set some projects to C7 compatible because it seems to reduce the size of information. Can anyone tell me why pdb file only up to 65kB? thanks in advance.

What version of VC are you using? I believe that the limit is 2GB for
VC++7.0 & 7.1, but that the limit is 65KB for VC++6.0.
