If the construction of an ifstream object fails in the sense that its boolean
value has become false (e.g. because the supplied file doesn't exist), but
later on its member function open is successfully called, should the boolean
value of the object be true again? If it should, my compiler (DJGPP 3.02) has
a bug.
