I think I have discovered a memory leak in libg++ in that the
strstreambuf class allocated as part of istrstream's constructor is
not deleted.  istream::istream sets _flags to include dont_close and
this means that _strbuf isn't deleted by ~istream and istrstream
doesn't appear to have a destructor.  

Is this what you would expect ?  I have a program which uses
istrstreams and there is quite a large memory leak associated with its
use.
