Hi,
i found a problem with the ostrstream class (djgpp and gnu compiler under
Win95). Somewhere in
my program i have to create and remove an ostrstream object many times (i.e.
endless). It looks
like this:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
while(1){
  {
   ostrstream *wandler = new ostrstream;
   wandler -> operator<<(10.0);
   wandler -> str();
   delete wandler;
  }
}
}


When running the program the system begins to swap until the error message:
Virtual memory exceeded in 'new'. I suppose that the memory for the object
is not realy released after deleting. Is it a bug in the c++ library or of
Win95? I'm thankful for your help.
