Ouch!!!! I had just changed some of this behavior when the testsuites
got re-packaged. I was sure that I had added tests for some of this
stuff. Perhaps not, if you are changing this behavior as well and not
noticing anything? Is there any chance I could get you to add some
simple tests for the functions you've modified? They don't have to be
anything more than one liners with a call to gcount. 

At least for basic_istream/[putback,seekg,tellg].

Also, both seekg's should have  _M_gcount = 0 removed.

>Should this go in 3.3?  *shrug*

I think you might as well put this in both places (you can keep the test
cases only in mainline if you'd prefer, since merging them can be a
pain.)
