John's fstream.cpp test program fails on my Win XP SP 1 system. I've 
reinstalled cygwin gcc and mingw components freshly downloaded. The gcc and 
gcc-g++ .tar.bz2 files are identified as 3.3.1-3. The mingw-runtime id is 
3.2-1.

The command line I'm using is simply: g++ fstream.cpp

Executing the resulting program results in:

   2 [main] a 1668 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
413 [main] a 1668 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to 
a.exe.stackdump

The program compiles and executes correctly with Borland, Intel, 
Metrowerks, and Microsoft compilers.

Any suggestions? This is the system used to run the Boost Win32 regression 
tests, and we would like to eliminate as many gcc/cygwin failures as 
possible. See http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/

Thanks,
