>Description:
Once you use the line setiosflags(ios::right) then 
subsequent calls to setiosflags(ios::left) do not work.
It get stuck on right only.  The following code demonstrates
this:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//using std::ostream;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

  cout << setiosflags(ios::left) << setw(15) << setfill('.');
  cout << "Converged";
  cout << "YES" << endl;

  cout << setiosflags(ios::right) << setfill('*');
  cout << endl;

  cout << setiosflags(ios::left) << setw(15) << setfill('.');
  cout << "Converged";
  cout << "YES" << endl;
  return 0;
}


If I compile with:
 g++ (GCC) 3.2.3 20030309 (Debian prerelease)
the output is:

mythdrannor 18:47 > a.out
Converged......YES

......ConvergedYES

If I run with g++ version 2.95 the correct output is given:

mythdrannor 18:47 > a.out
Converged......YES

Converged......YES


I am running debian linux with the 3.2 compilers currently 
in the unstable branch.
>How-To-Repeat:
See attached file.  Compile and run with 2.95 to see the 
correct output.  g++-3.2 give a reversed output for the
final print statement.
