------- Comment #18 from sebor at roguewave dot com 2009-02-14 21:41 ------- I was too hasty -- the attached test case is buggy: it's missing a seek to the beginning of the stream after the first extraction, making the results for the num_get part meaningless.

That seems like a reasonable interpretation but others appear to be possible as well. Looks like this needs to be clarified.

It would be good to reconcile any accidental differences between C++ and POSIX. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39168
