At one point during the extended and discontinuous sync_with_stdio
discussion, somebody pointed out that "re-synching," e.g.,

    sync_with_stdio (false);
    ...
    sync_with_stdio (true);

was unsupported.  Well, that's what we're now doing in the
ios_base_members_static test:

    test01()
    {
        s_w_s();
        s_w_s(false);
        ... the tests ...
    }

    test02()
    {
        s_w_s();
        ... the tests ...
    }

Since the current implementation doesn't do anything for the case when the
parameter is true, all the testing code in test02 (Loren's test) is still
running in non-sync'ed mode from the call in test01(), thus defeating the
whole "make certain the default case works" purpose.

I'll reverse the order of the tests unless there's a good reason not to.
