Well, of course I tested it, and no testresults failed!

Anyway, I agree that the behaviour of pubsetbuf changes, since setbuf 
calls _M_set_indeterminate
and, inside it, there are __testin and __testout.

Again, I don't think that, according to the standard, setp and setg are 
supposed to change the open mode, but if you tell me that this is for 
consistency with v2... Agreed.
