As long as you don't send us a small program that shows this behaviour
or tell us exactly what kind of problem you have, there's no way we
can answer your question.  We try to fix all problems but your report
is so vague that the specific problem you mention could be already
fixed, your program could be broken, or it's really a bug - I just
can't say with the information you give.

I hope you did read the FAQ and noticed that you do need to recompile
your libstdc++ when upgrading ?
