it's not a different convention for header files, it's a different set
of header files. <streambuf.h> is an obsolete header, <streambuf> is
what the C++ standard mandates (you have to upgrade your gcc to 3.2 or
greater).

that's because you replaced <limit> by <limit.h>. The latter is a C
header, which is available as <climit> (and the symbols are then part
of the 'std' namespace. <limit> is really a different beast, which is, as
it seems, needed for the 'numeric_limits' template.
