(Sorry, I did something wrong and the mailer ate the first
part of my message.  Here is a reposting:)

I have a textbook that says

  char inbuf[200];
  while (cin >> inbuff)  { ... };

should read in one word at a time until it gets to the
end, at which point it should exit the loop.
  It reads words okay until it gets to the last word.
Instead of halting, it reads that last word over and
over and over and ...
  We are using GNU C++.
  Advice?
  Thanks in advance.
