State-Changed-Why:
    Thank you for your bug report.
    
    The 2.x compilers shipped with a C++ library that was
    written before the C++ standard was published.  The 3.x
    compilers have a new library (see gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/
    for more).  With it:
    
        13% cat 5073.cc
    
        #include <string>
        #include <iomanip>
        #include <iostream>
    
        using namespace std;
    
        int main(void)
        {
                string my_str("Hello");
                string my_str2("bye");
    
            // The correct expected result was "Hello      bye"
            // The actual buggy result is: "Hellobye"
                cout.setf(ios::left, ios::adjustfield);
                cout << setw(20) << my_str << my_str2 << endl;
    
                return 1;
        }
    
        14% g++-3.0 -Wall -W 5073.cc
        15% ./a.out
        Hello               bye
