My problem regards strstream repositioning - every time I seekg()
to stored position and then write to strstream, data in strstream
is truncated. Here is my sample code:

#include <stream.h>
#include <strstream.h>

int main(int, char *[])
{
  static char text[] = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. ";

  strstream ss;

  ss << text;

  streampos pos = ss.tellp();

  ss << text << endl;

  ss.seekp(pos);

  ss << "***";

  ss.seekp(0,ios::end);

  ss << ends;

  cout << '"' << ss.str() << '"' << endl;

  ss.freeze(0);
}

Instead of (IMHO) "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. *** quick
brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. "
the output is truncated to "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
***".

Where is an error in the above code ?

Thanks for any help,
