Yes, you were right.  The libraries are buggy.  This problem popped
up a few days ago.  The solution is to change the following lines in
\djgpp\gnu\libgplus.271\libio\filebuf.cc:
 
  if ((mode & (int)ios::trunc) ||
      ((!(mode & (int)ios::app)) && (mode & (int)ios::out)))
    posix_mode |= O_TRUNC;
 
to:
 
  if ((mode & (int)ios::trunc) ||
      ((!(mode & int(ios::app|ios::in))) && (mode & (int)ios::out)))
    posix_mode |= O_TRUNC;

and update libgpp.a, libiostr.a, and libstdcx.a.
