In function 'int Filebuf::underflow()' of file streambuff.cc, the first
assignment to 'eptr' which reads:

    eptr = base + Fp->fp->_bufsize;

should be:

    eptr = base + Fp->fp->_cnt+1;

The supplied test programs tended to hang before I made this change.

Misc. Questions/Comments:
Is it really necessary to directly access the members of the FILE structure?
(I'm running on Sprite which uses a different FILE structure than unix,
requiring me to manually change all such references.)

Has anyone gotten gdb 3.2 to run properly?
In particular, I can't get 'info method' to work at all.
