Well, I don't know what the problem is, but it isn't that the library
restricts you to 24 hours. If you look in test/posix_time/testduration.cpp
you'll see this test:
time_duration tdl2(2000000, 0, 0, 0);
check("2000000 hours", tdl2.hours() == 2000000);
among others. And it clearly passes on VC8. So, I think you must have a
compilation problem or something else going on.
HTH,
