[Bug libstdc++/24206] New: cin.rdbuf->in_avail() always return 0

[raj dot khem at gmail dot com]

The following code when run always returns 0 for in_avail()
To reproduce, just compile the following code with g++ with no commandline
switches and run the resulting binary. 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {

  streamsize size;
  char ch;

  streambuf * pbuf;
  pbuf = cin.rdbuf();

  cout << "Please enter some characters: ";
  cin >> ch;

  size = pbuf->in_avail();

  cout << "The first character you entered is: " << ch << endl;
  cout << size << " additional characters in input buffer" << endl;

  return 0;
}
