 Hi,
 
 Following patch addresses PR 4545 on mainline.
 
 "I was mistaken in one piece that I submitted in PR libstdc++/4536.
 
  Rather, according to $27.6.2.5.3(6) the operator
  basic_ostream::operator<<(streambuf*) should tset badbit, not 
  failbit, if __sbin or __xtrct is set to 0."
 
 
 2001-08-02  Brendan Kehoe  <brendan@zen.org>
 
 	* include/bits/ostream.tcc (basic_ostream::op<<(streambuf*)): If
 	__sbin or __xtrct are 0, set badbit, not failbit, per
 	$27.6.2.5.3(6).
