     I am consolidating PRs 2345, 3014, and 1620, all of which
     were high-priority duplicates of this one (which was
     marked high priority before I think it got corrupted and
     restored).

 State-Changed-Why:
     
     Still a problem using the 20010604 prerelease, tested with
     the code in the original 2071 bug report and Loren's tests
     posted in the most thoughtful analysis at
     
         http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2001-05/msg00041.html
     
     I'm about to start a bootstrap on solaris 8 with his patch
     from the thread starting with
     
         http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2001-05/msg00052.html
     
     Nobody ever responded to his request for commentary or
     stepped up with an alternative solution (unless I seriously
     missed a thread).  It means using YAoM (Yet Another
     os_defines.h Macro), but if it solves the problem for 3.0,
     then I vote we use it.
     
     This bug tends to kill any use of cin under solaris, so
     we need to find something...
