Hi,

I'm using the gpp-e11b (egcs) alpha and have a problem with strstreams.

The following code

int main()
{
   for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
   {
      strstream os;
      os << "test ";
      if (i == 0) os << "first";
      os << endl;
      string s = os.str();
      cout << s;
   }
}

fails to properly terminate the string s. (output is "test
first\ngarbagegarbage...test\ngarbage..." It seems the str() function does
not append the '\0' terminator to the string correctly. Is this a bug, or
am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,
Koen.
