    So it does....
    
    strstream.cc: 69 has
    
    strstreambuf::strstreambuf(streamsize initial_capacity)
      : _Base(),
        _M_alloc_fun(0), _M_free_fun(0),
        _M_dynamic(true), _M_frozen(false), _M_constant(false)
    {
      streamsize n = max(initial_capacity, streamsize(16));
    
      char* buf = _M_alloc(n);
      if (buf) {
        setp(buf, buf + n);
        setg(buf, buf, buf);
      }
    
    Wow. 
    
    Are you aware that this class has been deprecated by std::stringstream? You might consider using it instead.
    
    However, it turns out that the bug is pretty easy to fix. You might try this, and let me know how it goes.
