    Is strstream part of the ANSI C++ standard?  Anyways, I agree that it
should work the way you expect, but I suspect that it was programed to use
something similar to strcat to impliment the "<<" operator.  Some day when
I'm not too lazy, I'll take a look at the sources and see what I can do (if
the maintainers agree with our conclusion)
