Subject: libgpp ofstream bug?
Mailer: VM 5.32 (beta) for GNU Emacs 18.59.5

This little program will not work when compiled by gcc 2.6.0 with libgpp
2.60

---- test program ---
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
main()
{
    ofstream of("test.dat", ios::bin);
    of << "hello\nworld\n\r";
    if (!of)
        cerr << "Error writing to file\n";
}

It will work when compiled by MSVC (replacing ios::bin with
ios::binary).

To make it work with libgpp I need to use a line like this

    ofstream of("test.dat", ios::bin|ios::out);

Is an ofstream object supposed to be for output?
