Looks to me like msvc++6.0 was trying to keep debug file sizes from getting too large. So wouldn't worry about it. dev-c++ uses the mingw library if I'm not mistaken, and express ed of msvc++ is based on msvc++8 I think.
It's not surprising really that a hash table of strings, using a string as the key, would generate some rather large template names either, and memory use is probably right up there with it (map implementation pending). Is there any other key you could use other than string?
