Ok, I've isolated the problem, and it is indeed where I thought it to be.
I must stress that the testcase below doesn't segfault, but it causes valgrind 
to spit out the same error as previously reported.

Interestingly, its the '0' that triggers the behaviour. Substitute '1', and it 
runs through valgrind without incident.

This gcc 3.3.3 on x86 linux. Testcase built with "gcc -lstdc++ test.cpp"

	#include <sstream>
	#include <iomanip>
	using namespace std;

	int main()
	{
        	 ostringstream oss;
	         oss << internal << setw(2) << 0;
	}
