Bug in STL <iomanip> for strings

[Harald Harders]

Dear egcs-developer,

The use of the <iomanip> function setw(width) does not produce the
expected output when using for variables of the type string. In contrast
using it for variables of the type char* or char[] the ouput is right.

The included program setw_test demonstrates this behaviour.

Compiler version:  gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
OS version:        SuSE linux 5.3 (Intel PC)

Yours
Harald Harders
