When using getline followed by a getc for an integer,
then another getline the last getline returns a blank string. 
Is this a bug or has it already been fixed.  

Sample code:
char lname[30], rname[30];
int one;
ifstream myfile;
// and open file
myfile.getline(lname, 30);
myfile >> one;
myfile.getline(rname, 30);
...


any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Dean
