I compield the following small test program and it worked fine on XP
with SP1. I am currently using GCC 3.03 snapshot from Andris's GCC
test page (recompiled with latest LIBC from last weekend).

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
    int cin_integer;
    char cin_string[100];

    cout<<"Test start."<< endl;

    cout<<"Integer input test."<< endl;
    cin>>cin_integer;

    cout<<"String input test." << endl;
    cin>>cin_string;
    
    cout<<"Integer =" << cin_integer<< endl;
    cout<<"String =" << cin_string << endl;
    
    cout<<"Test end."<< endl;
    return(0);
}

Test results:-

DJGPP_204 D:\dj204\work\cpp>test
Test start.
Integer input test.
12345
String input test.
testing12345
Integer =12345
String =testing12345
Test end.
