Thanks for your bug report. Most likely, this is fixed in gcc 2.95.2.

This is a known problem; g++ does not fully support the standard
library. You can use <strstream> meanwhile, which gives a stream class
operating on char* (instead of std::string).

This is essentially the same problem: The library is not inside
namespace std, yet. You can use -fhonor-std to enforce namespace std,
but that will make things worse.

The most recent version is always recommended; that is 2.95.2 at the
moment. There is also a new C++ library underway, libstdc++ 3. It will
be much closer to the standard. You can try it if you want - it is
still 'incomplet and incorekt'.
