Hi!
     Our application died when trying to write a NULL char *
using the ostream << operator.  Since this code has survived
compilation using several cfront based compilers, I ended up
adding a check for NULL to ostream& operator<< (ostream& stream,
const char *s) in iostream.C.  Is this uncool?

	Thanks!
	Gail
