>Description:
In libstdc++-v3/src/ios.cc, function ios_base::Init::_S_ios_destroy are these lines:
	delete cout.rdbuf();
	delete cin.rdbuf();
	delete cerr.rdbuf();

These are no doubt the counterpart to the following lines from ios_base::Init::_S_ios_create:
	new (&cout) ostream(new filebuf(stdout, ios_base::out, __bufsize));
	new (&cin) istream(new filebuf(stdin, ios_base::in, 1));
	new (&cerr) ostream(new filebuf(stderr, ios_base::out, __bufsize));

However, the use of the rdbuf() method is incorrect. (See previous bug report dealing with rdbuf()).  This use of rdbuf() could lead to badness if cout/cin/cerr/clog were to be redirected.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

std::basic_filebuf b1;

int main()
{
  b1.open("foo");
  cout.rdbuf( b1 );
  std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
// at program termination, b1 is deleted by 
// ios_base::Init::_S_ios_destroy,
// and the streambuf created to handle output
// to stdout is leaked.
>Fix:
create three global filebuf's in globals.cc.
add constructors in ios.cc to in-place construct and destroy these filebufs.
modify the constructors for cout/cin/cerr/clog in ios.cc to use these filebufs.
