problem with wifstream

[de Chalendar Gael <DE-CHALENDARG at zoe dot cea dot fr>]

Hello,

I have a problem using wide characters file streams. There is really few
non-reference occurrences of this class name in the web and so I ask
here.

A "normal" version of the program works while the one using wide
characters does not work.
I don't know if is an error from me or a bug...

The files pasted below explain the problem. I showed the test file and
the two versions of the program with their results. I show also my
version of gcc.

Note that I am able to use the wstring and wstream classes when putting
wide characters strings directly inside the code. The problem appears
only with file reading.

Thanks in advance for your help.
