I am having trouble using the 'get' method for the 'istream' class.
It generates a 'Segmentation fault' error at run-time.  I know the
'istream' is being opened correctly because reading into a 'String'
object with >> works fine.  Am I doing something wrong ?
The sample program and "data" illustrate the point:

main()
{
    istream from("data",io_readonly,a_useonly);
    char *line;

    from.get(line,15);
    cout << line;
}

Sample "data" file contents:
word1 word2
word3
