As you can see from the screen capture below, I got 14 bytes for the size:
----------------
C:\Lookat\temp
>type temp42.cpp
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("%u\n", sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER));
return 0;
}
C:\Lookat\temp
>bcc32 -WCR temp42

Have you applied the updates to the compiler? If not, visit the link below
and get update 4 and apply it. The update is cumulative so applying 4
brings you up to date independent of if one of the earlier updates has or
has not been applied.
