>Description:
When the flag ios_base::ate is passed to basic_filebuf::open, the filebuf tries to seek to the end of the file (as expected). If this seek fails, the file is closed before open returns (also as expected). However, the return value still indicates that open was successful, even though is_open is false after the call to open.
