// A POSSIBLE BUG IN  gnu-win32-b17.1  when "freezing" the internal
// record   ostsstream filename.str()  
// 
// Reported by: tage DOT westlund AT stockholm DOT mail DOT telia DOT com
//
// This is a small subset of a well tested C++ program. It is coded
// in a Solaris 2.4 UNIX system environment.
// This program will fail when used in Win 95 using the new 
// Cygnus  gnu-win32-b17.1  binary package.
//
// After having ported the source code to the IBM-PC cloned
// computer, there were no compilation errors besides some
// trivial ones. But there was a runtime error with stack dump.
// It was easy to use "sprintf" instead of "filename.str()". Then
// the entire code was very well behaving in my PC.
//
// Since the following is a much reduced code, please do not find
// any meaning with it otherwise than to demonstrate a hang up
// in method LexBuild! 
//
// In my Solaris computer I got:
// % g++ -v
// gcc -v
// Reading specs from
// /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.7.2/specs
// gcc version 2.7.2
//
// In my PC I got:
// % c++ -v
// - - - -
// gcc version cygnus-2.7.2-961023
//
// Execution in Solaris and in PC was wihout options:
// > g++ bugtest1.C
// > a.out       
// I passed this routine LexBuild successfully
// 
// Execution in PC gave:
// > c++ bugtest1.C
// > a.exe
// In cygwin_except_handler  Exception trapped!
// exception C0000005 at 401180
// exception: ax 0 bx 25BF3EC cx 25BF3EC dx 25BF3EC
// exception: si 5 di 100113BF bp 25BF3D4 sp 25BF340
// exception is: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
// Stack trace: - - - -   several lines
// In cygwin_except_handler
// Error while dumping state ( probably corrupted stack )
