>Description:
Given a filebuf fb, calling fb.pubsetbuf(0, 0) doesn't turn off buffering (as determined by fb.pptr()), if pubsetbuf is called after fb.open().

pubsetbuf(0, 0) is only guaranteed to work if called before the first I/O operation - I don't think open qualifies as an I/O operation.

In any case, this is at worst implementation defined behaviour, and the documentation at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/27_io/howto.html
states that this should work.
